Job 38:27

27 para saciar la sed del yermo desoladoy hacer que en él brote la hierba?

Job 38:27 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:27

To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground]
Which is exceeding desolate, and therefore two such words are used to express it; which is so dry and thirsty that it is one of the four things that say not it is enough, ( Proverbs 30:16 ) ; and yet God can and does give it rain to its full satisfaction, ( Psalms 104:13 ) ; so the Lord satisfies souls, comparable to dry and thirsty ground, by his word and ordinances, with the goodness and fatness of his house; see ( Psalms 63:1-5 ) ( 65:4 ) ;

and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
grass for the cattle, and herb for the service of men, ( Psalms 104:14 ) ; of like use is the word in a spiritual sense for the budding and increase of the graces of the Spirit in the Lord's people; see ( Deuteronomy 32:2 ) ( Isaiah 55:10 Isaiah 55:11 ) .

Job 38:27 In-Context

25 ¿Quién abre el canal para las lluvias torrenciales,y le da paso a la tormenta,

26 para regar regiones despobladas,desiertos donde nadie vive,

27 para saciar la sed del yermo desoladoy hacer que en él brote la hierba?

28 ¿Acaso la lluvia tiene padre?¿Ha engendrado alguien las gotas de rocío?

29 ¿De qué vientre nace el hielo?¿Quién da a luz la escarcha de los cielos?
