Job 37:11 Context
9Out of the South commeth the whirlewinde: and cold out of the North. 10By the breath of God, frost is giuen: and the breadth of the waters is straitned. 11Also by watring he wearieth the thicke cloud: hee scattereth his bright cloud. 12And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may doe whatsoeuer hee commaundeth them vpon the face of the world in the earth. 13He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

Wesley's Notes for Job 37:11
37:11 Watering - The earth. They spend themselves and are exhausted watering the earth, until they are weary. Wearieth - Them with much water, and making them to go long journeys to water remote parts, and at last to empty themselves there: all which things make men weary; and therefore are here said to make the clouds weary by a common figure. Scattereth - As for the white and lightsome clouds, he scatters and dissolves them by the wind or sun.
