Job 37:19

19 Muéstranos, qué le hemos de decir; para que no hablemos disparates.

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 ¿Y eran calientes tus vestidos cuando él daba el reposo a la tierra del mediodía?

18 ¿Extendiste tú por ventura con él los cielos firmes como un espejo firme?

19 Muéstranos, qué le hemos de decir; para que no hablemos disparates.

20 ¿Por ventura cuando yo hablare le será contado? ¿Cuando alguno se anegare le será dicho?

21 También alguna vez no se ve la luz clara en los cielos, y pasa un viento y los limpia.
