Job 35:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This is mentioned as a further aggravation of men's neglect of God in their misery. God hath given to men those gifts which he hath denied to beasts, reason and religion, wisdom to know God and themselves, and their obligations to God, and their dependence upon him. And therefore it ill becometh them to lie like brute creatures, roaring and crying out in their miseries, without taking any notice of God in way of prayer or praise; and if they do so, it is no wonder if God takes no notice of them.

Job 35:11

11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
