Job 28:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 28:24

22 ^aDestruction¹ and Death say,
‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’

23 God understands its way,
And He knows its place.

24 For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And ^asees under the whole heavens,

25 ^aTo establish a weight for the wind,
And apportion the waters by measure.

26 When He ^amade a law for the rain,
And a path for the thunderbolt,

27 Then He saw¹ wisdom and declared it;
He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.

28 And to man He said,
‘Behold, ^athe fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
