Wells of Living Water Commentary - Job 38:1-41

God Speaks to Job Job 38:1-41 to Job 42:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS God's words to Job do not carry much by way of the explanation of redemption. Job was a child of God, and well-instructed on those lines. When, however, God refers to Job's three friends, who had not spoken of God, as they should have spoken, then the Lord commands, at once, that a burnt offering of seven bullocks, and of seven rams should be made. In the first chapter of job we learn how Job, continually, offered up burnt... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 38:4-38

Job 38:4-Zechariah : . The Wonders of the Inanimate Creation.— Where was Job when the earth was made? The work of creation is described as the building of a house. In Job 38:7 the stars, which are older than the world (contrast Genesis 1:16), are thought of as animated beings: the “ sons of God” are the angels. The morning stars and the angels then composed the choir at the laying of earth’ s foundation-stone; the stone-laying, therefore, took place in the morning. Job 38:8-1 Kings : speaks... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 38:25

For the overflowing of waters; for the showers of rain which come down out of the clouds, orderly, moderately, and gradually, as if they were conveyed in pipes or channels; which, without the care of God’s providence, would fall confusedly, and all together; and, instead of refreshing, would overwhelm the earth. For the lightning of thunder, i.e. for that lightning which, breaking out of the cloud with violence, causeth thunder. Or, for lightning and thunder. Who opened a passage for them out... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 38:1-41

JEHOVAH’S ADDRESS TO JOBElihu had now said all he intended. Possibly interrupted by the storm which had been gathering during his speech. Out of the storm-cloud, from which already issued thunders and lightnings, the Almighty was now to speak. The grandeur and sublimity of the scene not to be surpassed. Its only counterpart at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:18).I. The announcement of the Almighty’s speech. Job 38:1.—“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind” (or... read more

Rain and Grace A Parallel April 5 th 1883 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) “Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; to satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? “ Job 38:25-27 .

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 38:1-41

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? tell me, if you have understanding. Who has laid the measures of it, tell me if you know? or who has stretched the line upon it? Where are the foundations fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 38:1-41

Job 38:1 . The whirlwind. Clouds and flames are the chariots of the Lord, in deigning to speak with men. When he spake to Elijah in Horeb, it was with wind, and fire, and earthquake. Likewise in Psalms 18:11, it is said, he clothed himself with thick clouds of darkness. It belongs to him alone to clear up the clouds of his providence. Job 38:3 . Gird up now thy loins like a man, like the ancient Kibborim or giants. Oh Job, thou art ignorant of the cause of thy calamities; thou knowest... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 38:25-27

Job 38:25-27To cause it to rain on the earth.Rain and grace-a comparisonWe shall work out a parallel between grace and rain.I. God alone giveth rain and the same is true of grace. We say of rain and of grace,--God is the sole author of it. He devised and prepared the channel by which it comes to earth. He hath “divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters.” The Lord makes a way for grace to reach His people. He directs each drop, and gives each blade of grass its own drop of dew,--to... read more

Who hath divided (or derived) a watercourse for the overflowing of waters] That is, the waterclouds, for the pouring out of rain, velut per canales et tubulos, as by pipes and conveyances, wheresoever God pleaseth, men being amazed at those miracles of nature; is it not the Lord alone?
