Job 38:33

“Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? etc.] Settled by the decree, purpose, and will of God, and are firm and stable; (see <19E806>Psalm 148:6 <243135>Jeremiah 31:35,36); the laws and statutes respecting their situation, motion, operation, influence, and use, which are constantly observed; these are so far from being made by men, and at their direction, that they are not known by them, at least not fully and perfectly; canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? or over it; of the heavens over the earth; not such an one as judicial astrologers ascribe unto them, as to influence the bodies of men, especially the tempers and dispositions of their minds; to affect their wills and moral…”

“the ordinances: Gen 1:16, Gen 8:22; Psa 119:90, Psa 119:91; Jer 31:35, Jer 31:36, Jer 33:25 canst: Job 38:12, Job 38:13 Job 38:34”
