Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job spoke again: ² "Yes, I know all this is true in principle. But how can a person be declared innocent in God's sight? ³ If someone wanted to take God to court, would it be possible to answer him even once in a thousand times? ⁴ For God is so wise and so mighty. Who has ever challenged him successfully? ⁵ "Without warning, he moves the mountains, overturning them in his anger. ⁶ He shakes the earth from its place, and its foundations tremble. ⁷ If he commands it, the sun won't rise and the stars won't shine. ⁸ He alone has spread out the heavens and marches on the waves of the sea. ⁹ He made all the stars—the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the southern sky. ¹⁰ He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles.

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.
