Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - He casteth forth his ice like morsels; or, "like crumbs;" i.e. in profusion, as men feed birds. The "ice" intended would seem to be that of hailstones. Who can stand before his cold? Though the thermometer rarely shows more than six or seven degrees of frost in Palestine, yet the Oriental is as much chilled by such a temperature as the Englishman by one twenty degrees lower. He shivers in his light attire, and is very reluctant to leave the shelter of his house or tent.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) Morsels.--Or, crumbs. (Genesis 18:5; Judges 19:5.) Doubtless the allusion is to hail.
