6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone-
6 Whereupon are the foundations
6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
6 How was its foundation poured, and who set the cornerstone,
6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
6 What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 38:6
Commentary on Job 38:4-11
(Read Job 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.
