SEV Biblia, Chapter 38:3

Ahora ciñe como varón tus lomos; yo te preguntaré, y hazme saber tú.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 38:3

Verse 3. Gird up now thy loins ] I will not confound thee with my terrors; dismiss all fearful apprehensions from thy mind; now act like a man, rbgk kegeber, like a hero: stand and vindicate thyself. For I will demand of thee-I will ask thee a series of questions more easy of solution than those which thou hast affected to discuss already; and then thou shalt have the opportunity of answering for thyself. The most impressive and convincing manner of arguing is allowed to be that by interrogation, which the Almighty here adopts. The best orations delivered by the ancients were formed after this manner. That celebrated oration of Cicero against Catiline, which is allowed to be his masterpiece, begins with a multitude of short questions, closely pressed upon each other. See the end of the chapter.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-3 - Job had silenced, but had not convinced his friends. Elihu had silence Job, but had not brought him to admit his guilt before God. It please the Lord to interpose. The Lord, in this discourse, humbles Job, an brings him to repent of his passionate expressions concerning God' providential dealings with him; and this he does, by calling upon Jo to compare God's being from everlasting to everlasting, with his ow time; God's knowledge of all things, with his own ignorance; and God' almighty power, with his own weakness. Our darkening the counsels of God's wisdom with our folly, is a great provocation to God. Humbl faith and sincere obedience see farthest and best into the will of the Lord.
