Job 35:9 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. By reason of the multitude - Or rather, "From among the multitude" the oppressed clamor, יזעיקו yaziku: they shout, ישועו yeshavveu, because of the mighty. The wicked rich oppress the wicked poor; these cry aloud because of their oppressors; but they have no relief, because they call not upon God.

Job 35:9
