Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? tell me, if thou hast understanding.

Foundations. The Hebrews placed the earth in the centre of the universe, resting upon nothing, (chap. 26:7., and 36:30.) or upon itself. See Hesiod, Theog. 325. (Calmet) --- These questions seem intended to shew, that if God has created all things for man, he will not surely neglect to watch over him. (Menochius)
