Contextual Overview
6For he says to the snow, “Fall to the earth,”and the torrential rains, his mighty torrential rains, 7serve as his sign to all mankind,so that all men may know his work. 8The wild animals enter their lairsand stay in their dens.9The windstorm comes from its chamber,and the cold from the driving north winds. 10Ice is formed by the breath of God,and watery expanses are frozen. 11He saturates clouds with moisture;he scatters his lightning through them. 12They swirl about,turning round and round at his direction,accomplishing everything he commands themover the surface of the inhabited world. 13He causes this to happen for punishment,for his land, or for his faithful 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.
