Job 38:22

22 ¿Has entrado tú en los tesoros de la nieve, y has visto los tesoros del granizo

Job 38:22 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:22

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast
thou seen the treasures of the hail?
] The vapours raised, and clouds formed in the atmosphere, which is the storehouse of those meteors; and may be called treasures, because hidden in the clouds, and not seen by man until the fall of them; and because they are in the keeping, and at the command and direction of the Lord the proprietor of them; and because rich and enriching, especially snow, which falling keeps the earth warm, and makes it fruitful; and because of the abundance thereof which sometimes falls. Now we are not to imagine that the Lord has stores of these laid up in heaps, in times past for time to come; but that he can and does as easily and as soon produce them when he pleases, as one that has treasures laid up can bring them forth at once.

Job 38:22 In-Context

20 ¿Si la tomarás tú en sus términos, y si entendieras las sendas de su casa

21 ¿Si sabías tú cuando habías de nacer, y si el número de tus días había de ser grande

22 ¿Has entrado tú en los tesoros de la nieve, y has visto los tesoros del granizo

23 lo cual tengo yo reservado para el tiempo de la angustia, para el día de la guerra y de la batalla

24 ¿Cuál sea el camino por donde se reparte la luz; por donde se esparce el viento solano sobre la tierra
