Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered: ² "Of course, I know that this is true. But how can a human being win an argument with God? ³ Anyone who chose to argue with him could not answer one question in a thousand! ⁴ God is so wise and powerful that no one could oppose him and survive. ⁵ When God is angry, he moves mountains before they know what happened. ⁶ He can shake the earth, and it will tremble down to its foundations. ⁷ With one command he can stop the sun from rising. He can lock up the stars and keep them from shining. ⁸ He alone made the skies, and he walks on the ocean waves. ⁹ "God made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades. He made the planets that cross the southern sky. ¹⁰ He does things too marvelous for people to understand. He does too many miracles to count!

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.

without any respect to their works: and hath delivered the

earth into the hands of the wicked, 11-24.
