Job 38:36 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In the inward parts, to wit, of a man. Compare @Job 19:27 Psalms 51:6. Who gave thee that wit and understanding which thou hast, and which thou now usest so arrogantly and wickedly, to contend with me, and to censure my actions? Who hath given understanding to the heart; so he limits the former general expression of the inward parts. The heart is made by the Hebrews the seat of the understanding, and is commonly put for it in Scripture.

Job 38:36

36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
