Contextual Overview

1Then Job answered and said, 2"In truth I know that this is so;But how can a man be in the right before God? 3If one desired to contend with Him,He could not answer Him once in a thousand times. 4Wise in heart and mighty in power,Who has stiffened his neck against Him and been at peace? 5God is the One who removes the mountains, they know not how,When He overturns them in His anger; 6The One who shakes the earth out of its place,And its pillars tremble; 7The One who says for the sun not to shine,And sets a seal upon the stars; 8Who alone stretches out the heavens,And tramples down the waves of the sea; 9Who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,And the chambers of the south; 10Who does great things, unsearchable,And wondrous works, innumerable.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which doth great things past finding out,.... In heaven and earth; great as to quantity and quality, not to be thoroughly searched out so as to tell their numbers, nor explain and express the nature of them to the full; even what he has done, and does in creation, providence, and grace:

yea, and wonders without number; such as are amazing to men, who cannot account for them, and so many that they cannot number them. The same things are said by Eliphaz, :-; and which Job here repeats, to show that he agreed with him, and was ready to own what was truth, whenever expressed by him or his friends, and especially such as made for the glory of the Divine Being.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Which doeth great things - This is almost the sentiment which had been expressed by Eliphaz; see the notes, Job 5:9. It was evidently a proverb, and as such was used by both Eliphaz and Job.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 9:10. Great things past finding out — Great things without end; wonders without number. - Targum.
