Contextual Overview
6 For he says to the snow, Fall on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain. 7 He seals up the hand of all of man, That all men whom he has made may know [it]. 8 Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens. 9 Out of the chamber [of the south] comes the storm, And cold out of the north. 10 By the breath of God ice is given; And the width of the waters is straitened. 11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture; He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning: 12 And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the face of the habitable world, 13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for loving-kindness, that he causes 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.

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.
