| Geneva Study Bible Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; Wesley's Notes 38:6 Foundations - This strong and durable building hath no foundations but God's power, which hath marvelously established it upon itself. Cornerstone - By which the several walls are joined and fastened together, and in which, next to the foundations, the stability of a building consists. The sense is, who was it that built this goodly fabrick, and established it so firmly that it cannot be moved. King James Translators' Notes foundations: Heb. sockets fastened: Heb. made to sink? Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 6. foundations-not "sockets," as Margin. fastened-literally, "made to sink," as a foundation-stone let down till it settles firmly in the clay (Job 26:7). Gravitation makes and keeps the earth a sphere. 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. |
