Job 38:4 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. — Job 38:4
Source Coverage: Job 38:4-11
For the humbling of Job, God here shows him his ignorance, even concerning the earth and the sea. As we cannot find fault with God's work, so we need not fear concerning it. The works of his providence, as well as the work of creation, never can be broken; and the work of redemption is no less firm, of which Christ himself is both the Foundation and the Corner-stone. The church stands as firm as the earth.
