Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
The sky is strong and firm, spread out as a polished, cast-metal mirror and a mighty work. The verse asks whether any person spread out that expanse together with God. It belongs to a description of wondrous works that display greatness and power in nature and creation. The question exposes human limits, showing that people cannot match power in creation nor fully understand and comprehend God and His works. By thus contrasting human limits with divine works, it calls people to consider majesty and to acknowledge that they cannot fully comprehend Him.
