Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 35:11

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth - Who is able to teach us mere than the irrational creation; that is, in regard to the nature and design of affliction. They suffer without knowing why. They are subjected to toil and hardships; endure pain, and die, without any knowledge why all this occurs, and without any rational view of the government and plans of God. It is not, or need not be so, says Elihu, when man suffers. He is intelligent. He can understand why he is afflicted. He... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 35:11

Job 35:11. Who teacheth us more than the beasts This is mentioned as a further aggravation of men’s neglect of God in their misery. God hath given to men those gifts which he hath denied to beasts, reason and understanding, whereby they might become acquainted with God and themselves, and with their obligations to him, and their dependance upon him. And therefore they are inexcusable for not using that reason and understanding, by calling on God, and seeking help of him in the time of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 35:1-16

The justice of God (34:1-35:16)When Job does not reply to Elihu’s challenge, Elihu turns to the onlookers and repeats some of Job’s rash statements about the injustice of God (34:1-6). Let them judge for themselves. Surely such words prove Job’s wickedness (7-9).God is not unjust, says Elihu, and no one can tell him what to do. He is the governor of the universe (10-13). He is the source of all life and, if he wished, he could bring all life to an end (14-15). God governs perfectly and shows no... read more

11. Man's spirit, which distinguishes him from the brute, is the strongest proof of God's beneficence; by the use of it we may understand that God is the Almighty helper of all sufferers who humbly seek Him; and that they err who do not so seek Him. fowls—(see on :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 35:4-16

Elihu’s defense of God’s freedom 35:4-16Elihu made two responses to what he inferred was Job’s attitude. First, he claimed that God is under no obligation to react to people’s actions be they good or bad. He is free to respond or not respond as He chooses. God is above the human sphere of life and only reacts to people when He chooses to do so. This is a thought Eliphaz had expressed earlier (Job 22:2-3; Job 22:12). However, Elihu went further by pointing out that people’s actions do affect... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 35:1-16

The Speeches of Elihu (continued)1-8. Elihu (Job 34:9) had charged Job with saying that there was no advantage in being righteous. He now deals with this assertion.2. Right] RV ’thy right,’ thy just cause.3. If I he cleansed from my sin] RV ’more than if I had sinned.’4. Thy companions] those who held the same views.5-8. Elihu points to the infinite distance between God and man, and shows that He cannot be injured by the evil or benefited by the good which we do. But a man’s conduct is most... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 35:11

(11) Who teacheth us.—Or it may be, Who teacheth us by, and maketh us wise by, &c. Then the sense will be that the oppression is so severe that the victims of it forget that God can give songs in the night, and that He has favoured men more than the beasts of the field, and that, as not one sparrow can fall to the ground without Him, so He has even numbered the hairs of those who are of more value to Him than many sparrows. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 35:1-16

Job 35:10 Do we not fail to accord to our nights their true value? We are ever giving our days the credit and blame of all we do and misdo, forgetting those silent, glimmering hours when plans and sometimes plots are laid; when resolutions are formed or changed; when heaven, and sometimes heaven's enemies, are invoked; when anger and evil thoughts are recalled, and sometimes hate made to inflame and fester; when problems are solved, riddles guessed, and things made apparent in the dark, which... read more

XXVI.THE DIVINE PREROGATIVEJob 35:1-16; Job 36:1-33; Job 37:1-24AFTER a long digression Elihu returns to consider the statement ascribed to Job, "It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God." {Job 34:9} This he laid hold of as meaning that the Almighty is unjust, and the accusation has been dealt with. Now he resumes the question of the profitableness of religion."Thinkest thou this to be in thy right, And callest thou it ‘My just cause before God,’ That thou dost ask... read more
