By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
Taken with the verse before it, the saying presents the founding of the earth in wisdom and the establishing of the heavens in understanding as completed by knowledge in the realm of waters and sky. By that knowledge the depths were broken open and divided, and the clouds were caused to drop down dew. The order thus imposed on the world above and below is an expression of divine wisdom and knowledge at work in creation. That same wisdom displayed in ordering the natural world illustrates the principles of the spiritual kingdom. What God has done wisely in heavens and earth therefore makes known how His kingdom is governed.
