Contextual Overview

¹ Then Iyov responded: ² "Indeed, I know that this is so; but how can a human win a case against God? ³ Whoever might want to argue with him could not answer him one [question] in a thousand. ⁴ His heart is so wise, his strength so great — who can resist him and succeed? ⁵ "He moves the mountains, although they don't know it, when he overturns them in his anger. ⁶ He shakes the earth from its place; its supporting pillars tremble. ⁷ He commands the sun, and it fails to rise; he shuts up the stars under his seal. ⁸ He alone spreads out the sky and walks on the waves in the sea. ⁹ He made the Great Bear, Orion, the Pleiades and the hidden constellations of the south. ¹⁰ He does great, unsearchable things, wonders beyond counting.

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Job acknowledges God's justice and man's sinfulness, 1-3.

Celebrates his almighty power as manifested in the earth and

in the heavens, 4-10.

Maintains that God afflicts the innocent as well as the wicked,

without any respect to their works: and hath delivered the

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

Complains of his lot, and maintains his innocence, 25-35.
