Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
The verse is a poetic question whether a human can bring forth Mazzaroth in its season or guide Arcturus with its sons, placing their seasonal appearance and guiding among the works of creation that surpass human power and knowledge. It affirms God's authority over the stars and their appointed courses, order, and movement. Their ordering and movement are among God's mysteries, beyond human power to direct or fully understand, showing the limits of human wisdom and knowledge.
The stars of heaven are all under law, each influencing the other to do God's will in common obedience to the law that controls their action. Therefore no person can rightly be independent, but as the close of time nears God's children must not act independently of religious organization and must draw together in harmony so that His work may advance healthfully and solidly.
