Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered and said, ² Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God? ³ If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand. ⁴ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?— ⁵ Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger; ⁶ That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble; ⁷ That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars; ⁸ That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea; ⁹ That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south; ¹⁰ That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous 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.

Celebrates his almighty power as manifested in the earth and

in the heavens, 4-10.

without any respect to their works: and hath delivered the

earth into the hands of the wicked, 11-24.
