Job 38:26

26 That bring water to unvisited fields, deserts no one ever lays eyes on,

Job 38:26 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:26

To cause it to rain on the earth, [where] no man [is]; [on] the
wilderness, wherein [there is] no man.
] Which is uninhabited by men, being so dry and barren; where there is no man to cultivate and water it, as gardens are; and where is no man to receive any advantage by the rain that comes upon it; and yet the Lord sends it for the use of animals that dwell there; which shows his care and providence with respect even to the wild beasts of the earth. This may be an emblem of the rain of the Gospel upon the Gentile world, comparable to a wilderness; see ( Isaiah 35:1 ) .

Job 38:26 In-Context

24 Can you find your way to where lightning is launched, or to the place from which the wind blows?
25 Who do you suppose carves canyons for the downpours of rain, and charts the route of thunderstorms
26 That bring water to unvisited fields, deserts no one ever lays eyes on,
27 Drenching the useless wastelands so they're carpeted with wildflowers and grass?
28 And who do you think is the father of rain and dew,
