Jó 38:19

19 “Como se vai ao lugar onde mora a luz?E onde está a residência das trevas?

Jó 38:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:19

Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth?
&c.] Or the way to the place where it dwells, and what that is;

and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof?
where these were placed when they were first separated at the creation? where light goes and dwells, when it departs from us at sun setting? and where the darkness betakes itself, and makes its abode at sun rising? What is the chamber of the sun, and the tabernacle of it? from whence it sets out, and whither it returns? And though these questions may be answered by geographers and astronomers in their way; yet they seem to respect chiefly the disposal of light and darkness, in such a manner as to cause the revolution of them, and the inequality of days and nights in different seasons and climates; and which is not in the power of men to effect, but depends on the sovereign will of God.

Jó 38:19 In-Context

17 As portas da morte foram mostradas a você?Você viu as portas das densas trevas?
18 Você faz ideia de quão imensas são as áreas da terra?Fale-me, se é que você sabe.
19 “Como se vai ao lugar onde mora a luz?E onde está a residência das trevas?
20 Poderá você conduzi-las ao lugar que lhes pertence?Conhece o caminho da habitação delas?
21 Talvez você conheça, pois você já tinha nascido!Você já viveu tantos anos!
