Contextual Overview

6 For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power. 7 With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke. 8 Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places. 9 The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde. 10 At the breath of God the frost is giuen, & the breadth of the waters is made narrowe. 11 He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light. 12 And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde: 13 Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.

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.

m Ut supra. (De Ritu Gent. Septentr. l. 19. c. 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.
