27, 28.

"Vapor" is in apposition with "rain," marking the way in which rain is formed; namely, from the vapor drawn up by God into the air and then condensed into drops, which fall ( Job 5:10- : ). The suspension of such a mass of water, and its descent not in a deluge, but in drops of vapory rain, are the marvel. The selection of this particular illustration of God's greatness forms a fit prelude to the storm in which God appears ( Job 5:10- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-28" class="com-number"
