Job 38:14 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

It — The earth. Turned — Is changed in its appearance. By the seal — The seal makes a beautiful impression upon the clay, which in itself hath no form, or comeliness. So the earth, which in the darkness of night lies like a confused heap without either form or beauty, when the light arises and shines upon it, appears in excellent order and glory. They — The men and things of the earth, whether natural, as living creatures, herbs and trees; or artificial, as houses or other buildings. Stand — Present themselves to our view. Garment — Wherewith the earth is in a manner clothed and adorned.

Job 38:14

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
