Contextual Overview

¹Then Job answered and said,²"Yes, I know it is true. But how can a mortal man be right before God? ³"If one should want to contend or dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times. ⁴"God is wise in heart and mighty in strength; Who has [ever] defied or challenged Him and remained unharmed? ⁵"It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When He overturns them in His anger; ⁶Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble; ⁷Who commands the sun, and it does not shine; Who seals up the stars [from view]; ⁸Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea; ⁹Who made [the constellations] the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the [vast starry] spaces of the south; ¹⁰Who does great things, [beyond understanding,] unfathomable, Yes, marvelous and wondrous things without number.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Job answered and said. Without taking notice of Bildad's harsh expressions and severe censures, or his unfriendliness to him; he enters directly into the argument, grants some things, confutes others, and defends himself and his conduct.
