Proverbs 3:20
Compare all
18 She is aa tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who1 retain her. 
19 aThe Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens; 
20 By His knowledge the depths were abroken up,
And clouds drop down the dew. 
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
23 aThen you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble. 
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

Proverbs 3:20

By his knowledge the depths are broken up - He determined in his wisdom how to break up the fountains of the great deep, so as to bring a flood of waters upon the earth; and by his knowledge those fissures in the earth through which springs of water arise have been appointed and determined; and it is by his skill and influence that vapours are exhaled, suspended in the atmosphere, and afterwards precipitated on the earth in rain, dews, etc. Thus the wisest of men attributes those effects which we suppose to spring from natural causes to the Supreme Being himself.
