Contextual Overview

¹ Then Iyov answered, ² "Truly I know that it is so, But how can man be just with God? ³ If he is pleased to contend with him, He can't answer him one time in a thousand. ⁴ God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered? ⁵ Who removes the mountains, and they don't know it, When he overturns them in his anger ⁶ Who shakes the eretz out of its place; The pillars of it tremble; ⁷ Who commands the sun, and it doesn't rise, And seals up the stars; ⁸ Who alone stretches out the heavens, Treads on the waves of the sea; ⁹ Who makes Ayish, Kesil, and the Kima, And the chambers of the south; ¹⁰ Who does great things past finding out, Yes, marvelous 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.

in the heavens, 4-10.

without any respect to their works: and hath delivered the

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