Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Job 38:4 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Foundations. The figure of the earth having foundations is frequently employed (see Ps. 102:25; 104:5; Prov. 8:29; Isa. 48:13; 51:13, 16; Zech. 12:1; Heb. 1:10).

Declare. These expressions have the effect of showing Job how limited his knowledge really was.
