SEV Biblia, Chapter 38:36

¿Quién puso la sabiduría en el corazón? ¿O quién dio al entendimiento la inteligencia?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 38:36

Verse 36. Who hath put wisdom in the in ward parts? ] Who has given ywkl lasechvi, to the contemplative person, understanding? Even the most sedulous attention to a subject, and the deepest contemplation, are not sufficient to investigate truth, without the inspiration of the Almighty, which alone can give understanding. But who has given man the power to conceive and understand? A power which he knows he has, but which he cannot comprehend. Man knows nothing of his own mind, nor of the mode of its operations. This mind we possess, these operations we perform; - and of either do we know any thing? If we know not our own spirit, how can we comprehend that SPIRIT which is infinite and eternal? Mr. Good thinks that this verse is a continuation of the subject above, relative to the lightnings, and therefore translates thus: - Who putteth understanding into the vollies? And who giveth to the shafts discernment? All the versions, except the Septuagint, which trifles here, understand the place as we do. Either makes a good sense. The Septuagint has, "Who hath given the knowledge of weaving to women; or the science of embroidery?" Instead of understanding to the heart, the Vulgate has, understanding to the cock; that it might be able to distinguish and proclaim the watches of the night.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 25-41 - Hitherto God had put questions to Job to show him his ignorance; no God shows his weakness. As it is but little that he knows, he ought no to arraign the Divine counsels; it is but little he can do, therefor he ought not to oppose the ways of Providence. See the all-sufficienc 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 on 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 awar 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 __________________________________________________________________
