Contextual Overview

1 Joob answeride, and seide, Verili Y woot, that it is so, 2 and that a man comparisound to God schal not be maad iust. 3 If he wole stryue with God, he may not answere to God oon for a thousynde. 4 He is wiys in herte, and strong in myyt; who ayenstood hym, and hadde pees? 5 Which bar hillis fro o place to anothir, and thei wisten not; whiche he distriede in his strong veniaunce. 6 Which stirith the erthe fro his place, and the pilers therof schulen `be schakun togidere. 7 Which comaundith to the sunne, and it risith not; and he closith the sterris, as vndur a signet. 8 Which aloone stretchith forth heuenes, and goith on the wawis of the see. 9 Which makith Ariture, and Orionas, and Hiadas, `that is, seuene sterris, and the innere thingis of the south. 10 Which makith grete thingis, and that moun not be souyt out, and wondurful thingis, of whiche is noon noumbre.

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.
