Reciprocal: Jeremiah 14:6 - the wild

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 “salt places.” Such places were usually barren. Psalms 107:34, “he turneth a fruitful land into barrenness.” Hebrew “saltness.” 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.

The barren land — מלחה melechah, the salt land, or salt places, as in the margin. See above.
