Geneva Study Bible

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord {r} commandeth it not?

(r) He shows that nothing is done without God's providence.

Wesley's Notes

3:37 Who - Nothing comes to pass in the world, but by the disposal of divine providence. This seems to be spoken in the name of the people of God, arguing themselves into a quiet submission, to their afflictions, from the consideration of the hand of God in them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

37-39. Who is it that can (as God, Ps 33:9) effect by a word anything, without the will of God?

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:37-41 While there is life there is hope; and instead of complaining that things are bad, we should encourage ourselves with the hope they will be better. We are sinful men, and what we complain of, is far less than our sins deserve. We should complain to God, and not of him. We are apt, in times of calamity, to reflect on other people's ways, and blame them; but our duty is to search and try our own ways, that we may turn from evil to God. Our hearts must go with our prayers. If inward impressions do not answer to outward expressions, we mock God, and deceive ourselves.


Psalm 33:9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. (NASB ©1995)
