Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Job 37:17
Reciprocal: Acts 27:13 - the south
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when ye see the south wind blow,.... From the hot countries of Egypt, Ethiopia, and Arabia, which lay south of Judea:
ye say there will be heat; or hot sultry weather, scorching heat, which such a wind brings with it:
and it cometh to pass; generally speaking, as is asserted.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 16:2-3.
South wind - To the south and southwest of Judea were situated Arabia, Egypt, and Ethiopia, all warm or hot regions, and consequently the air that came from those quarters was greatly heated.
How is it that ye do not discern this time! - You see a cloud rise, and predict a shower; a south wind, and expect heat. These are regular events. So you see my miracles; you hear my preaching; you have the predictions of me in the prophets; why do you not, in like manner, infer that âthis is the timeâ when the Messiah should appear?
