Contextual Overview

¹Then Job answered:²Yes, I know what you’ve said is true,but how can a person be justified before God? ³If one wanted to take him to court,he could not answer God once in a thousand times. ⁴God is wise and all-powerful.Who has opposed him and come out unharmed? ⁵He removes mountains without their knowledge,overturning them in his anger. ⁶He shakes the earth from its placeso that its pillars tremble. ⁷He commands the sun not to shineand seals off the stars. ⁸He alone stretches out the heavensand treads on the waves of the sea. ⁹He makes the stars: the Bear, Orion,the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern sky. ¹⁰He does great and unsearchable things,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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

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.
