Job 38:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 38:25

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.
