Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered: ² "Truly I know that it is so: But how can a man be just before God? ³ If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times. ⁴ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength--who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded? -- ⁵ he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger; ⁶ who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; ⁷ who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; ⁸ who alone stretched out the heavens, and trampled the waves of the sea; ⁹ who made the Bear and Orion, the Plei'ades and the chambers of the south; ¹⁰ who does great things beyond understanding, and marvelous things 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

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.
