SEV Biblia, Chapter 38:18
¿Has considerado tú hasta las anchuras de la tierra? Declara si sabes todo esto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 38:18
Verse 18. The breadth of the earth? ] At that time the circumference of the globe was not known, because the earth itself was supposed to be a vast extended plain, bordered all round with the ocean and the sky.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-24 - The Lord questions Job, to convince him of his ignorance, and shame his for his folly in prescribing to God. If we thus try ourselves, we shal soon be brought to own that what we know is nothing in comparison with what we know not. By the tender mercy of our God, the Day-spring from on high has visited us, to give light to those that sit in darkness whose hearts are turned to it as clay to the seal, 2Co 4:6. God's wa in the government of the world is said to be in the sea; this means that it is hid from us. Let us make sure that the gates of heaven shal be opened to us on the other side of death, and then we need not fea the opening of the gates of death. It is presumptuous for us, wh perceive not the breadth of the earth, to dive into the depth of God' counsels. We should neither in the brightest noon count upon perpetua day, nor in the darkest midnight despair of the return of the morning and this applies to our inward as well as to our outward condition What folly it is to strive against God! How much is it our interest to seek peace with him, and to keep in his love!
