James 1:11

Taken from Isaiah 40:6-8.

heat—rather, "the hot wind" from the (east or) south, which scorches vegetation (Luke 12:55). The "burning heat" of the sun is not at its rising, but rather at noon; whereas the scorching Kadim wind is often at sunrise (Jonah 4:8) [MIDDLETON, The Doctrine of the Greek Article]. Matthew 20:12 uses the Greek word for "heat." Isaiah 40:7, "bloweth upon it," seems to answer to "the hot wind" here.

grace of the fashion—that is of the external appearance.

in his ways—referring to the burdensome extent of the rich man's devices [BENGEL]. Compare "his ways," that is, his course of life, James 1:8.
