Contextual Overview

27 Beholde, I know what ye thinke, yea and the subtiltie that ye imagine against me. 28 For ye say where is the princes palace? and where is the dwelling of the vngodly? 29 Haue ye not asked them that go by the way? Doubtlesse ye cannot denie their tokens, 30 That the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and the vngodly shalbe brought foorth to the day of wrath. 31 Who dare declare his way to his face? who wil rewarde him for that he doth? 32 Yet shall he be brought to his graue, and dwell among the heape [of the dead.] 33 Then shal the slymie valley be sweet vnto him, all men also must folowe him, as there are innumerable gone before him. 34 Howe vayne then is the comfort that ye geue me, seyng falshood remayneth in all your aunsweres?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, I know your thoughts,.... God only truly, really, and in fact, knows the thoughts of men; this is his peculiar prerogative, he only is the searcher of the hearts and the trier of the reins of the children of men. Christ, the eternal Logos, or Word, by his being a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, appears to be truly God. No man knows the things of a than, or the thoughts of his heart, but himself, and such to whomsoever he reveals them; but a wise and understanding man, a careful observer of men and things, may make some shrewd guesses at the thoughts of others, by hints and half words, or sentences expressed by them; by the show of their countenance, which is the index of the mind, and by the gestures and motions of their bodies; by these they may in a good measure judge whether they like or dislike, approve or, disapprove, of what is said to them: and thus Job knew the thoughts of his friends, that they were different from his, that the sentiments of their minds did not agree with his; and though he had so clearly proved his point, yet he saw by their looks and gestures that what he had said was not satisfactory to them; that they did not think it a sufficient confutation of their arguments, and a full answer to their objections:

and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine against me; that he was an hypocrite, a wicked man, guilty of crimes, and which they were devising to produce against him, and charge and load him with, as Eliphaz does in the following chapter; he knew they meant him in all that they had said concerning wicked men, and their afflictions, and what would be their portion at death, and after it; and though they did not name his name, they might as well have done it, since he was the man they struck at in all, particularly it, Job 20:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold, I know your thoughts - That is, “I see that you are not satisfied, and that you are disposed still to maintain your former position. You will be ready to ask, Where “are” the proofs of the prosperity of the wicked? Where “are” the palaces of the mighty? Where “are” the dwelling places of ungodly men!”

And the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me - The course of sophistical argument which you pursue, the tendency and design of which is to prove that I am a wicked man. You artfully lay down the position, that the wicked must be, and are in fact, overwhelmed with calamities, and then you infer, that because “I” am overwhelmed in this manner, I “must be” a wicked man.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 21:27. I know your thoughts — Ye still think that, because I am grievously afflicted, I must therefore be a felonious transgressor.
