Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 11:6

Job 11:6. That he would show thee the secrets of wisdom The unsearchable depths of his wisdom in dealing with his creatures. That they are double to that which is That they are far greater (the word double being used indefinitely for manifold, or plentiful) than that which is manifested. The secret wisdom of God is infinitely greater than that which is revealed to us by his word or works: the greatest part of what is known of God is the least part of those perfections that are in him.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 11:1-20

Zophar speaks (11:1-20)Angered at what he considers to be Job’s irreverent talk, Zophar can keep silent no longer (11:1-3). He rebukes Job for claiming to be an innocent victim of injustice, and asserts that if Job really suffered according to his sin, his suffering would be much worse (4-6). God’s wisdom is limitless and therefore his judgments must be true. People should neither oppose him nor expect to understand his ways (7-10). No one can deceive God, for he sees people as they really are.... read more

It is plain that the thing to be discovered was the wickedness of Job, which had hitherto, in the judgment of these friends, been covered by his hypocrisy; and, in truth, there was little reason to lay open the hidden treasures of God's wisdom to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 11:1-6

Zophar’s rebuke of Job 11:1-6Four things about Job bothered Zophar: his loquacity (Job 11:2), his boasting (Job 11:3), his self-righteousness (Job 11:4), and his ignorance (Job 11:5). Job 11:5-6 are full of sarcasm. Zophar believed Job deserved much worse punishment than God was giving him (Job 11:6 b). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 11:1-20

5. Zophar’s first speech ch. 11Zophar took great offense at what Job had said. He responded viciously with an aggressiveness that outdid both Eliphaz and Bildad. Zophar was a dogmatist."He . . . attempted heavy handed shock treatment to get through to Job." [Note: Smick, "Job," p. 917.] "The Naamathite is the least engaging of Job’s three friends. There is not a breath of compassion in his speech. . . . His censorious chiding shows how little he has sensed Job’s hurt. Job’s bewilderment and his... read more

Job 11:1 ; Job 11:16 In her journal, Marie Bashkirtseff observes, of one of her girlish sorrows: 'There is one thing that troubles me; to think that in a few years I shall laugh at it all and have forgotten'. Two years later there is another entry: 'It's two years now, and I don't laugh at it, and I have not forgotten'. Job 11:6 Every fresh region man breaks into reveals new wonders, and with them new enigmas, calling upon him to solve them or perish. There is a special complication, a... read more
