Contextual Overview

¹ And Job answered and said, ² Of a truth I know it is so; but how can man be just with God? ³ If he shall choose to strive with him, he cannot answer him one thing of a thousand. ⁴ He is wise in heart and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and had peace? ⁵ Who removeth mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger; ⁶ Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble; ⁷ Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth up the stars; ⁸ Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea; ⁹ Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south; ¹⁰ Who doeth great things past finding out, and 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.

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.
