Job 9:24 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

He covereth the faces of the judges— He hath covered the face of the judgments which are done in it; but the cause of his anger who shall declare? That is, Who can set forth the reasons why God is angry at miserable mortals, and why he permits the earth to the wicked? Houbigant. Heath, after the Syriac, renders the last clause, were it not for his fury, who would regard him? i.e. This would be the language of the wicked, if the Almighty did not sometimes let loose his fury, and shew them that they are but men.
