Jó 37:19

19 “Diga-nos o que devemos dizer a ele;não podemos elaborar a nossa defesa por causa das nossas trevas.

Jó 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.

Jó 37:19 In-Context

17 Você, que em sua roupa desfalece de calorquando a terra fica amortecida sob o vento sul,

18 pode ajudá-lo a estender os céus,duros como espelho de bronze?

19 “Diga-nos o que devemos dizer a ele;não podemos elaborar a nossa defesa por causa das nossas trevas.
