Job - 38:5 Meaning

“Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

38:4-11 For the humbling of Job, God here shows him his ignorance, even concerning the earth and the sea. As we cannot find fault with God's work, so we need not fear concerning it. The works of his providence, as well as the work of creation, never can be broken; and the work of redemption is no less firm, of which Christ himself is both the Foundation and the Corner-stone. The church stands as firm as the earth.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
