Job 37:20 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. Shall it be told him that I speak? - Shall I dare to whisper even before God? And suppose any one were to accuse me before him for what I have spoken of him, though that has been well intended, how should I be able to stand in his presence? I should be swallowed up in consternation, and consumed with the splendor of his majesty. But in what state art thou? What hast thou been doing? Thou hast arraigned God for his government of the world; thou hast found fault with the dispensations of his providence; thou hast even charged him with cruelty! What will become of Thee?

Job 37:20

20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
