Job 38:16 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 38:16

Compare all

14 It takes on form like clay under a seal,
And stands out like a garment.

15 From the wicked their ^alight is withheld,
And ^bthe upraised arm is broken.

16 “Have you ^aentered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?

17 Have ^athe gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

18 Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.
