Bible Comments

JOB CHAPTER 9 Job's answer: man cannot stand in judgment with God, because of his justice, wisdom, and power, which are unsearchable, Job 9:1-11. All help or reason against God is vain; nor can we answer him; but must supplicate to our Judge, Job 9:12-15. God's sovereignty, and our vileness before him, Job 9:16-21. The godly are punished as well as the wicked by general calamities and wicked oppression, Job 9:22-24. His time swift; his sorrows bitter: if wicked, he could not clear himself; nor would God hold him innocent, Job 9:25-31; yet wisheth for a daysman, and a removal of Divine terror; then would he before God maintain his innocency, Job 9:32-35.
