Job 9:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? If "He taketh away" suddenly and violently, as in my case, all that was dear to me, still a mortal cannot call Him to account. He only takes His own. He is an absolute King. "Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?" (Ecclesiastes 8:4). "He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay His hand" (Daniel 4:35).
