Contextual Overview

6 Then aunswered the Lorde vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and saide: 7 Girde vp thy loynes now lyke a man: I wyll demaunde of thee, and make thou aunswere. 8 Wylt thou disanul my iudgement? or wylt thou condempne me, that thou mayst be righteous? 9 Is thy power then lyke the power of God? maketh thy voyce a sounde as his doth? 10 Decke thy selfe now with excellencie and maiestie, and araye thy selfe with beautie and glory: 11 Cast abrode the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him: 12 Loke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe, & destroy the wicked in their place: 13 Hide them in the dust together, and couer their faces in secrete: 14 Then wyll I confesse vnto thee also, that thyne owne right hande shall saue thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hast thou an arm like God?.... Such power as he has, which is infinite, almighty, and uncontrollable, and therefore there is no contending with him; as he has an arm on which good men may lean on and trust in, and by which they are supported, protected, and saved, so he has an arm to crush like a moth all that strive with him or against him;

or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? thunder is his voice; see

Job 37:4, c. and is expressive of his power,

Job 26:14 and his powerful voice may be observed in calling all things out of nothing into being in creation; in commanding and ordering all things in providence according to his pleasure; and in quickening sinners through his Gospel, by his Spirit and grace in conversion, and will be in calling men out of their graves and summoning them to judgment at the last day. God can both overpower and out voice men, and therefore it is in vain to oppose him and contend with him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hast thou an arm like God? - The arm is the symbol of strength. The question here is, whether Job would venture to compare his strength with the omnipotence of God?

Or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? - Thunder is a symbol of the majesty of the Most High, and is often spoken of as the voice of God; see Psalms 29:1-11. The question here is, whether Job could presume to compare himself with the Almighty, whose voice was the thunder?

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 40:9. Hast thou an arm like God? — Every word, from this to the end of Job 40:14, has a wonderful tendency to humble the soul; and it is no wonder that at the conclusion of these sayings Job fell in the dust confounded, and ascribed righteousness to his Maker.
