Contextual Overview

¹ And Job answereth and saith: -- ² Truly I have known that [it is] so, And what -- is man righteous with God? ³ If he delight to strive with Him -- He doth not answer him one of a thousand. ⁴ Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace? ⁵ Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath overturned them in His anger. ⁶ Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves. ⁷ Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up. ⁸ Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea, ⁹ Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the south. ¹⁰ Doing great things till there is no searching, And wonderful, till there is no numbering.

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

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.
