Job 38:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 38:19

Compare all

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.

19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where is its place,

20 That you may take it to its territory,
That you may know the paths to its home?

21 Do you know it, because you were born then,
Or because the number of your days is great?

22 “Have you entered ^athe treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,

23 ^aWhich I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?

24 By what way is light¹ diffused,
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?

25 “Who ^ahas divided a channel for the overflowing water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,

26 To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
A wilderness in which there is no man;

27 ^aTo satisfy the desolate waste,
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?

28 ^aHas the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?

29 From whose womb comes the ice?
And the ^afrost of heaven, who gives it birth?

30 The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is ^afrozen.

31 “Can you bind the cluster of the ^aPleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?

32 Can you bring out¹ Mazzaroth in its season?
Or can you guide¹ the Great Bear with its cubs?

33 Do you know ^athe ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
That an abundance of water may cover you?

35 Can you send out lightnings, that they may go,
And say to you, ‘Here we are!’?

36 ^aWho has put wisdom in¹ the mind?
Or who has given understanding to the heart?

37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

38 When the dust hardens in clumps,
And the clods cling together?

39 “Can^a you hunt the prey for the lion,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

40 When they crouch in their dens,
Or lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
