The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 38:16-27

God's Majesty in the Forces of NatuRev. 16. Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea, the great fountains of the deep, Genesis 7, 11? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth, to examine the ocean's bottom and discover its secrets? v. 17. Have the gates of death been opened unto thee, so that Job was familiar with the realm of the dead? Or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death, so that he could examine them and bring back the knowledge which is beyond death? v. 18.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 38:19-41

What Man Cannot Do Job 38:19-41 In this chapter a number of nature-pictures pass before us. These include the creation of the earth, Job 38:4-7 ; the sea, Job 38:8-11 ; light, Job 38:12-15 ; the mysteries of the unseen, Job 38:16-18 ; snow and rain, Job 38:22-30 ; the constellations of heaven, Job 38:31-38 ; and the recesses of the forest-glades, Job 38:39-41 . What does it all mean? Ah! there are times when the voice of God through nature falls on our hearts like sweet music, and we hardly... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 38:1-41

Here begins the third movement in the great drama, that which deals with the controversy between Jehovah and Job. Out of the midst of the whirlwind the divine voice speaks. Its first word is a challenge to Elihu. The challenge must be carefully considered. It does not charge Elihu with false interpretation, but with darkening counsel by the use of words which he himself did not perfectly understand. As we have said, his theme is too great for him, and God now deals with it. His method is to... read more

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 38:20

That thou shouldest take it, i.e. taking, bring or lead it, as this verb is oft used, as Exodus 25:2; Psalms 68:29, compared with Ephesians 4:11; 1 Kings 3:24; 1 Kings 17:10; Hosea 14:2. And many other such pregnant verbs there are in the Hebrew language, having the signification of two verbs included in one, And this it refers principally to the light, and secondarily to darkness, as the consequent of the other. To the bound thereof, i.e. its whole course, from the place of its abode whence it... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 38:21

An ironical question: If thou pretendest that thou knowest these things, and canst readily answer these questions, how comest thou by this knowledge? Was it from hence, because thou wast born when I made the world, and that first constitution of the light and darkness in that order and succession which continues to this day, and thereby hadst the opportunity of inspecting my works, and seeing whence the light came, and because thou hast gained this knowledge by long experience, as having lived... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 38:22

Dost thou know where I have laid up those vast quantities of snow and hail which I draw forth when I see fit? Dost thou know the causes of them, and the way to produce them? But if thou art unacquainted with these treasures, it is intolerable presumption in thee to pretend that thou knowest those treasures of wisdom which lie hid in my own breast. 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
