But God understands its way, and He knows its place.
The question which Job had asked (Job 28:12) he asks again here; for it is too worthy, too weighty, to be let fall, until we speed in the enquiry. Concerning this we must seek till we find, till we get some satisfactory account of it.
Commenting on Job 28:20-28
For he looketh to the ends of the earth,.... In this and some following verses, reasons and are given, which abundantly show that God must know the way and place of wisdom; since all the parts and places of the earth, even to the ends of it, are seen by him, and all creatures and things in it; nor is there anything in heaven, earth...
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. (n) He makes God the only author of this wisdom, and the giver of it.
