Contextual Overview

¹ Iob aunswered, and sayde, ² I knowe it is so of a trueth: For how may a man [compared] vnto God be iustified? ³ If he wil argue with hym, he can not aunswere hym one thing of a thousande. ⁴ He is wyse in heart and mightie in strength: who hath ben fearce against hym, and hath prospered? ⁵ He translateth the mountaynes, or euer they be aware it is he that ouerthroweth them in his wrath. ⁶ He remoueth the earth out of her place, that the pillers therof shake withall. ⁷ He commaundeth the sunne, and it ryseth not: he closeth vp the starres as vnder a signet. ⁸ He hym selfe alone spreadeth out the heauens, and goeth vpon the waues of the sea. ⁹ He maketh the Waynes of heauen, the Orion, the seuen starres, and the secret places of the south. ¹⁰ He doth great thinges & vnsearcheable, yea and wonders 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.
