Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job responded,² "In truth I know that this is so; But how can a person be in the right with God? ³ "If one wished to dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times. ⁴ "Wise in heart and mighty in strength, Who has defied Him without harm? ⁵ "It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know how, When He overturns them in His anger. ⁶ "It is He who shakes the earth from its place, And its pillars tremble; ⁷ Who commands the sun not to shine, And puts a seal on the stars; ⁸ Who alone stretches out the heavens, And tramples down the waves of the sea; ⁹ Who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the constellations of the south. ¹⁰ "It is He who does great things, the unfathomable, And wondrous works 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.
