SEV Biblia, Chapter 38:24

¿Cuál sea el camino por donde se reparte la luz; por donde se esparce el viento solano sobre la tierra?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 38:24

Verse 24. By what way is the light parted ] Who can accurately describe the cause and operation of a thunder cloud, the cause, nature, and mode of operation of the lightning itself? Is it a simple element or compound substance? What is its velocity? and why not conductible by every kind of substance, as it is known to exist in all, and, indeed, to be diffused through every portion of nature? How is it parted? How does it take its zigzag form? this is the curious, indescribable, and unknown parting. Are all the causes of positive and negative electricity found out? What are its particles, and how do they cohere, and in what order are they propagated? Much has been said on all these points, and how little of that much satisfactorily! Scattereth the east wind upon the earth? - µydq kadim, the eastern storm, euroclydon, or levanter.

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!
