Sermon Bible Commentary - Job 38:22

Job 38:22 Snow is my text, written in letters of white. "Hast thou" have you, boy or girl "entered into the treasures of the snow?" How pure it is; how soft it is; how strong it is; how silent it is; how useful it is. I. Think of the purity of the snow. What a wonderful white it is! You can get no other white like it. If you would learn the lesson of purity, never say an impure word. You cannot help the thought coming into your mind, but do not cherish the thought. II. Then think of two things... read more

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 38:22

Job 38:22Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? The treasures of the snowI. The beauty of these “treasures.” The manifold pleasing forms shaped by the different objects on which it falls; the broad white coverlet of the expansive plain; the undulating hills; the mountain peaks, whose white vestures are seen afar off like interceding high priests. Suggesting to the spiritual eye the infinite resources at the command of the Creator, and the incomprehensible variety and fulness of moral... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 38:20

Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths [to] the house thereof? Ver. 20. That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof ] That thou shouldest take light and darkness by the hand, as it were, and lead them to the place of their abode.

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 38:21

Job 38:21 Knowest thou [it], because thou wast then born? or [because] the number of thy days [is] great? Ver. 21. Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? ] Beza readeth it thus, These things, forsooth, thou knowest, because thou wast then born (viz. when I made them, and appointed what order and course they should keep), and the number of thy days is great, thou art very far grown in years, as having lived ever since the creation, Es annosissimus et antiquissimus, &c. Ironice omnia. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 38:22

Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Ver. 22. Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? ] i.e. Into the clouds, where these meteors (whereof before, Job 37:1-24 ) are engendered; and from whence God, when he pleases, bringeth such great store as if he had them treasured up by him for a long season. See the like said of the winds, Psalms 135:7 , Quasi parata haberet horum penuaria. Gregory, allegorizing these words,... read more
