can you, like Him, spread out the skies, as strong as a mirror of bronze?
Elihu here addresses himself closely to Job, desiring him to apply what he had hitherto said to himself. He begs that he would hearken to this discourse (Job 37:14), that he would pause awhile: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Commenting on Job 37:14-20
Hast thou with him spread out the sky?.... Wast thou concerned with him at the first spreading out of the sky? wast thou an assistant to him in it? did he not spread it as a curtain or canopy about himself, without the help of another?
with him--like as He does (Job 40:15). spread out--given expanse to. strong pieces--firm; whence the term "firmament" ("expansion," Gen 1:6, Margin; Isa 44:24). molten looking glass--image of the bright smiling sky. Mirrors were then formed of molten polished metal, not glass.
