THere are two opinions among learned Interpreters concerning the general state of this verse:
First, Some here reassuming the first words of these questions proposed at the fourth verse by God to Job, Where wast thou, when I laid the foundations of the earth? &c. make this the second instance of Gods mighty power in the works of Creation; Where wast thou, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? As if the Lord had said, I have as yet questioned thee only where thou wast when I made the earth, which is the most inferior part of the world: But now I purpose to rise higher in my discourse, and therefore I put these questions to thee; Where wast thou, when I set up the morning stars, those sparkling lights, which shine to the earth, through the firmament of heaven; as also the sons of God, those blessed spirits? all which sang together and shouted for joy, at the appearance of my power and wisdom.
