Job 38:36 Douay-Rheims

Who hath put wisdom in the heart of man? or who gave the cock understanding?

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

inward parts . . . heart--But "dark clouds" ("shining phenomena") [UMBREIT]; "meteor" [MAURER], referring to the consultation of these as signs of weather by the husbandman (Ecc 11:4). But Hebrew supports English Version. The connection is, "Who hath given thee the intelligence to comprehend in any degree the phenomena just specified?" heart--not the usual Hebrew word, but one from a root "to view"; perception.
