Job 37:19

19 Enséñanos qué le hemos de decir a Dios; no podemos ordenar nuestro argumento a causa de las tinieblas.

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 tú, cuyos vestidos están calientes cuando la tierra está en calma a causa del viento del sur?

18 ¿Puedes con El extender el firmamento, fuerte como espejo de metal fundido?

19 Enséñanos qué le hemos de decir a Dios; no podemos ordenar nuestro argumento a causa de las tinieblas.

20 ¿Habrá que contarle que yo quiero hablar? ¿O debe un hombre decir que quiere ser tragado?

21 Ahora los hombres no ven la luz que brilla en el firmamento; pero pasa el viento y lo despeja.
