Contextual Overview

1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can common man be just with God? 3 If he is pleased to contend with him, He can't answer him one of a thousand. 4 [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?- 5 [Him] that removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When he overturns them in his anger; 6 That shakes the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble; 7 That commands the sun, and it does not rise, And seals up the stars; 8 That alone stretches out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea; 9 That makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south; 10 That does great things past finding out, Yes, marvelous things 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.
