Contextual Overview

¹ Job's Reply to Bildad Job said: ² What you say is true. No human is innocent in the sight of God. ³ Not once in a thousand times could we win our case if we took him to court. ⁴ God is wise and powerful— who could possibly oppose him and win? ⁵ When God becomes angry, he can move mountains before they even know it. ⁶ God can shake the earth loose from its foundations ⁷ or command the sun and stars to hold back their light. ⁸ God alone stretched out the sky, stepped on the sea, ⁹ and set the stars in place— the Big Dipper and Orion, the Pleiades and the stars in the southern sky. ¹⁰ Of all the miracles God works, we cannot understand a one.

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.
