Job 36:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

i.e. He enableth and inclineth them to hearken to what God speaks by the rod, who would not hear in the time of their prosperity; like them Jeremiah 22:21. To discipline; or, to instruction, i.e. to receive instruction; or, to chastening, i.e. to hear the rod, and who hath appointed it, as is said, Micah 6:9. Commandeth, either by his word or Spirit accompanying the affliction, and discovering the mind and will of God in this dispensation. That they return from iniquity, which is the chief cause of their calamity.
