Job 21:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What is he to us? What excellence is there in him? What advantage have we, or can we expect from him? Strange that ever creatures should speak so insolently respecting their Creator, on whom they are every moment dependant for life, and breath, and all things! that ever reasonable creatures should speak so absurdly and unreasonably concerning their Redeemer and Saviour, their Governor and their Judge! The two great bonds, by which we are drawn and held to religion, are those of duty and interest; but here they endeavour to break both those bonds asunder. They will not own that they owe him any worship or service, nor will they believe that they should be a whit the better for serving him.

Job 21:15

15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
