Job 40:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. Once have I spoken - See on Job 42:3 (note), etc.

I will proceed no farther - I shall attempt to justify myself no longer; I have spoken repeatedly; and am confounded at my want of respect for my Maker, and at the high thoughts which I have entertained of my own righteousness. All is impurity in the presence of thy Majesty.

Job 40:5

5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
