Job 37:19

19 »Entonces, enséñanos qué decirle a Dios.
Somos demasiado ignorantes para presentar nuestros propios argumentos.

Job 37:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 37:19

Teach us what we shall say unto him
To this wonder working God, of whose common works of nature we know so little; how we should reason with him about his works of Providence, when we know so little of these:

[for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness;
by reason of darkness in themselves, which is in all men naturally, and even in the saints in this state of imperfection; and by reason of the clouds and darkness which are about the Lord himself, who is incomprehensible in his nature and perfections; and by reason of the darkness cast about his providential dealings with men, so that they are unsearchable and past finding out; and the best of men are at a loss how to order their speech, or discourse with God concerning these things.

Job 37:19 In-Context

17 Cuando te sofocas de calor dentro de tus ropas
y el viento del sur pierde su fuerza y todo se calma,

18 él hace que los cielos reflejen el calor como un espejo de bronce.
¿Puedes tú hacer eso?

19 »Entonces, enséñanos qué decirle a Dios.
Somos demasiado ignorantes para presentar nuestros propios argumentos.

20 ¿Se debe avisar a Dios que quiero hablar?
¿Puede una persona hablar cuando está confundida?

21 No podemos mirar al sol,
porque brilla con fuerza en el cielo
cuando el viento se lleva las nubes.
