Matthew Henry on Job 12:15
He gives an instance, for the proof of this doctrine in nature, v. 15. God has the command of the waters, binds them as in a garment (Prov. xxx. 4), holds them in the hollow of his hand (Isa. xl. 12); and he can punish the children of men either by the defect or by the excess of them.
