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

Which doth great things past finding out,.... In heaven and earth; great as to quantity and quality, not to be thoroughly searched out so as to tell their numbers, nor explain and express the nature of them to the full; even what he has done, and does in creation, providence, and grace:

yea, and wonders without number; such as are amazing to men, who cannot account for them, and so many that they cannot number them. The same things are said by Eliphaz, :-; and which Job here repeats, to show that he agreed with him, and was ready to own what was truth, whenever expressed by him or his friends, and especially such as made for the glory of the Divine Being.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Which doeth great things - This is almost the sentiment which had been expressed by Eliphaz; see the notes, Job 5:9. It was evidently a proverb, and as such was used by both Eliphaz and Job.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 9:10. Great things past finding out — Great things without end; wonders without number. - Targum.
