约伯记 38:15-16 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 38:12-24

The Lord here proceeds to ask Job many puzzling questions, to convince him of his ignorance, and so to shame him for his folly in prescribing to God. If we will but try ourselves with such interrogatories as these, we shall soon be brought to own that what we know is nothing in comparison with what we know not. Job is here challenged to give an account of six things:? I. Of the springs of the morning, the day-spring from on high, Job 38:12-15. As there is no visible being of which we may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 38:15

And from the wicked their light is withholden ,.... Whose light is darkness, and whose day is the night, of which they are deprived when the morning light breaks forth; see Job 24:17 ; it may be figuratively understood of the light of prosperity being removed from them, or the light of life, when they shall be sent into utter darkness; and the high arm shall be broken ; their power weakened and made useless; even the power of such wicked men who have had a large share of it, and have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 38:16

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea ?.... The subterraneous passages through which the waters flow into the sea and supply it; or the springs and fountains that rise up at the bottom of it F9 According to Dr. Plot, the principal fountains have their origin, and are supplied with water through subterraneous passages from the sea. De Origine Fontium, &c.; apud Act. Erudit. Lips. A. M. 1685. p. 538. See Gen vii. 11. ; and some tell us of springs of sweet water that rise... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 38:16

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? - Of these springs, inlets, or outlets of the sea, we know just as much as Job. There was prevalent among philosophers an opinion, that through a porous bottom fresh matter was constantly oozing by which the sea was supplied with new materials. But through such pores these materials might as well ooze out as ooze in. Walked in the search of the depth? - Hast thou walked from the shallow beach through the great ocean's bed, till thou hast... read more

The tone of the appeal is sustained at a high pitch, and the entire passage is one of extraordinary force and eloquence. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 38:4-15

Jehovah to Job: the first answer-the examination: 1. Concerning the creation. I. THE CREATION OF THE EARTH THE HANDIWORK OF GOD . 1 . An exclusively Divine work. Jehovah claims not simply to have been the Framer of the mighty fabric of the globe, but to have shared the honour of that stupendous achievement with no co-worker. Hence certainly not with Job. "Where wast thou when I established the earth?" Not taking part or even looking on, since thou wast not then in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 38:4-33

Human impotence and ignorance exposed. Job's affliction is a mystery—a mystery that needs to be revealed. Job has not given the explanation of it. He has not known it. His friends have failed. It has been attributed to his sin; but he is confident in his honest integrity, and cannot be persuaded that he is suffering punishment, for he has not a consciousness of guilt. Elihu has indicated the hidden nature of the Divine works, and has not made the mystery clearer. But he has closed the lips... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 38:12-15

Jehovah to Job: the first answer-the examination: 3. Concerning the light. I. THE LIGHT OF THE MORNING THE SERVANT OF GOD . 1 . The light of the morning is a servant to some one. It is under the commandment of a Superior. Every movement that it makes proclaims it to be under law. Modern science is even able with much precision to formulate the laws to which it renders obedience. And these operate with such unfailing regularity and such irresistible potency, that even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 38:15

And from the wicked their light is withholden . Then, when the dawn bursts forth, "from the wicked, their light"-which is darkness ( Job 24:13-17 )—"is withholden," and the consequence is that the high arm —the arm that is proud and lifted up— shall be broken . Detection and punishment fall upon the wicked doers who are surprised by the daylight. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 38:16

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? The emphasis is on the word "springs," which means sources, origin, or deepest depths . Canst thou go to the bottom of anything, explore its secrets, explain its cause and origin? Or hast thou walked in the search (rather, the deep places ) of the depth? Art thou not as ignorant as other men of all these remote and secret things? Physical science is now attempting the material exploration of the ocean-depths, but "deep-sea dredgings"... read more
