“To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;”
Job 38:26 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 38:26
"To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man." God sends rain on uninhabited lands, serving no immediate human purpose. This challenges anthropocentric thinking—creation exists for God's glory, not merely human utility. The double emphasis "where no man is" highlights God's care for creation itself, apart from human benefit. This demonstrates God's generosity and the intrinsic value He places on all creation. It teaches that God's purposes transcend human understanding and interest.
