Job 38:31 — Meaning and Application

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

The waters are hid as {with} a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. {is...: Heb. is taken}

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? {Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? {Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
