Contextual Overview
6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth.' And he says to the rain, ‘Pour down on the earth.' 7 God does this to stop everyone's work and to show the people he made what he can do. 8 The animals run into their dens and stay there. 9 Whirlwinds come from the south. The cold winds come from the north. 10 God's breath makes ice and freezes even large bodies of water. 11 He fills the clouds with water and scatters his lightning through them. 12 He orders the clouds to be blown all around the earth. The clouds do whatever he commands. 13 He causes the clouds to punish people with floods or to water his earth and show his love.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the beasts go into dens,.... When snow and rains are on the earth in great abundance, then the wild beasts of the field, not being able to prowl about, betake themselves to dens; where they lie in wait, lurking for any prey that may pass by, from whence they spring and seize it;
and remain in their places; until the snow and rains are finished. As for other beasts, Olaus Magnus m observes, that when such large snows fall, that trees are covered with them, and the tender branches bend under the weight of them, they will come and abide under them, as in shady places, in great security, sheltered from the cold wind. The former may put us in mind of great personages, comparable to beasts of prey for their savageness and cruelty, who, when the day of God's wrath and vengeance is come, will flee to rocks and mountains, dens and caverns, there to hide themselves from it; Revelation 6:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then the beasts go into dens - In the winter. This fact appears to have been early observed, that in the season of cold the wild animals withdrew into caves, and that many of them became torpid. This fact Elihu adverts to as an illustration of the wisdom and greatness of God. The proof of his superintending care was seen in the fact that they withdrew from the cold in which they would perish, and that provision is made for their continuance in life at a time when they cannot obtain the food by which they ordinarily subsist. In that torpid and inactive state, they need little food, and remain often for months with almost no nourishment.
