Job 37:18 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 37:18

Compare all

16 ^aDo you know how the clouds are balanced,
Those wondrous works of ^bHim who is perfect in knowledge?

17 Why are your garments hot,
When He quiets the earth by the south wind?

18 With Him, have you ^aspread out the ^bskies,
Strong as a cast metal mirror?

19 “Teach us what we should say to Him,
For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness.

20 Should He be told that I wish to speak?
If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.

spread out—given expanse to.

strong pieces—firm; whence the term "firmament" ("expansion," Genesis 1:6, Margin; Isaiah 44:24).

molten looking glass—image of the bright smiling sky. Mirrors were then formed of molten polished metal, not glass.
