Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered, ² "Yes, I know this is true. But how can a man be right and good before God? ³ If one wished to argue with Him, he would not be able to answer one out of a thousand of His questions. ⁴ He is wise in heart and powerful in strength. Who has ever stood against Him without being hurt? ⁵ It is He Who takes away the mountains without their knowing it, when He destroys them in His anger. ⁶ He shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars shake. ⁷ He tells the sun not to shine, and He keeps the stars from shining. ⁸ He alone spreads out the heavens and walks upon the waves of the sea. ⁹ He makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades and the stars of the south. ¹⁰ He does things too great for us to understand, and more wonderful works than we can 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.

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.
