Contextual Overview

1 Then Iob answered, and said, 2 I know it is so of a trueth: but howe should man be iust with God. 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answere him one of a thousand. 4 He is wise in heart, and mightie in strength: who hath hardened himselfe against him, and hath prospered? 5 Which remoueth the mountains, and they know not: which ouerturneth them in his anger: 6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, & the pillars thereof tremble: 7 Which commandeth the Sunne, and it riseth not: and sealeth vp the starres. 8 Which alone spreadeth out the heauens, and treadeth vpon the waues of the Sea. 9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South. 10 Which doeth great things past finding out, yea 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.

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.
