⁶ For to snow He saith, `Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power. ⁷ Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work. ⁸ And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue. ⁹ From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds -- cold, ¹⁰ From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened, ¹¹ Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light. ¹² And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth. ¹³ Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He doth cause 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.
