25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm,
25 "Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain and a way for the thunderbolt,
25 Who do you suppose carves canyons for the downpours of rain, and charts the route of thunderstorms
25 "Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water, Or a path for the thunderbolt,
25 "Who created a channel for the torrents of rain? Who laid out the path for the lightning?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 38:25
Commentary on Job 38:25-41
(Read Job 38:25-41)
Hitherto God had put questions to Job to show him his ignorance; now God shows his weakness. As it is but little that he knows, he ought not to arraign the Divine counsels; it is but little he can do, therefore he ought not to oppose the ways of Providence. See the all-sufficiency of the Divine Providence; it has wherewithal to satisfy the desire of every living thing. And he that takes care of the young ravens, certainly will not be wanting to his people. This being but one instance of the Divine compassion out of many, gives us occasion to think how much good our God does, every day, beyond what we are aware of. Every view we take of his infinite perfections, should remind us of his right to our love, the evil of sinning against him, and our need of his mercy and salvation.
