Job 38:16

Springs — Heb. the tears; the several springs out of which the waters of the sea flow as tears do from the eyes. Walked — Hast thou found out the utmost depth of the sea, which in divers places could never be reached by the wisest mariner? And how then canst thou fathom the depths of my counsels?

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 38:16

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the (m) depth?

(m) If you are not able to seek out the depth of the sea, how much less are you able to comprehend the counsel of God?
