Jó 38:34

34 Ou podes levantar a tua voz até as nuvens, para que a abundância das águas te cubra?

Jó 38:34 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:34

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of
waters may cover thee?
] Thy gardens, fields, and farms; canst thou, in a magisterial way, call to and demand of the clouds to let down rain in large quantities, sufficient to water them and make them fruitful? no, thou canst not: thou mayest cry and call as long as thou wilt, not a cloud will stir, nor a drop of water be let down; rain is to be had in a suppliant way, through the prayer of faith, as by Elijah, but not in a dictatorial authoritative way: the clouds and rain are only at the disposal of the Lord; ask of him, and he will give them; but they are not to be commanded, ( Zechariah 10:1 ) ; see ( Amos 5:8 ) .
