Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whose house I have made the wilderness,.... Appointed that to be his place of residence, as being agreeable to his nature, at a distance from men, and in the less danger of being brought into subjection by them. Such were the deserts of Arabia; where, as Xenophon n relates, were many of these creatures, and which he represents as very swift: and Leo Africanus o says, great numbers of them are found in deserts, and on the borders of deserts; hence said to be used to the wilderness Jeremiah 2:24;
and the barren land his dwellings; not entirely barren, for then it could not live there; but comparatively, with respect to land that is fruitful: or "salt land" p; for, as Pliny q says, every place where salt is, is barren.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Whose house I have made - God had appointed its home in the desert.
And the barren land his dwellings - Margin, as in Hebrew âsalt places.â Such places were usually barren. Psalms 107:34, âhe turneth a fruitful land into barrenness.â Hebrew âsaltness.â Thus, Virgil, Geor. ii. 238-240:
Salsa antem tellus, et quae, perhibetur amara.
Frugibus infelix: ea nec mansuescit arando;
Nec Baccho genus, aut pomis sua nomina servat.
Compare Pliny, Nat. His. 31, 7, Deuteronomy 29:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 39:6. Whose house — Habitation, or place of resort.
