Job 38:36 — Meaning and Application

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we {are}? {Here...: Heb. Behold us?}

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, {stay: Heb. cause to lie down}

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? {groweth...: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}
