Contextual Overview

¹ And Job made answer and said, ² Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God? ³ If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions. ⁴ He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it? ⁵ It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath: ⁶ Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking: ⁷ Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining. ⁸ By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea: ⁹ Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south: ¹⁰ Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders 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.
