Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 9:1

JOB 9JOB'S THIRD SPEECH:JOB RESPONDED TO BILDAD'S ALLEGATIONSIn this chapter, Job replies to the false theory of Bildad that every person gets exactly what he deserves in this life. If he does right he will be rich and prosperous; and if he is wicked, he will suffer disease and hardship. The only thing wrong with that theory was its being absolutely false: (1) No man is righteous enough to deserve all of the blessings which are poured out upon all men; and (2) "Such a theory makes every poor... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 9:1

CHAP. IX. Job, acknowledging God's justice, sheweth that there is no contending with him. Man's innocency is not to be condemned by afflictions. Before Christ 1645. Job 9:1. Then Job answered and said— In reply to Bildad, Job begins with hinting that their opinions seemed a little to clash; Eliphaz had insisted from revelation, that the common failings of men were a sufficient justification of Providence, even in the most afflicting dispensations. Bildad says, if he were pure and upright, God... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 9:1-12

The greatness of God 9:1-12Job began his response to Bildad by acknowledging that much of what his friends had said was true (Job 9:2). Many of Job’s speeches began with sarcasm or irony. He then turned to a question that Eliphaz had raised earlier (Job 4:17) that seems to have stuck in Job’s mind. How could he, a righteous man, much less the ungodly, stand righteous before God, as Eliphaz had urged him to do (Job 5:8), since God was tormenting him. God appeared to Job to be acting arbitrarily... read more

4. Job’s first reply to Bildad chs. 9-10"From this point on, the emphasis in the discussion is on the justice of God; and the image that is uppermost in Job’s mind is that of a legal trial." [Note: Wiersbe, pp. 22-23.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 9:1-35

Job’s Second Speech (Job 9, 10)Job 9, 10 are, perhaps, in their religious and moral aspects the most difficult in the book.Driver in his ’Introduction to the Literature of the OT.’ analyses them as follows:—’Job as well as his friends believes suffering to be a mark of God’s displeasure for some grave sin. Job, however, is conscious that he has not so sinned. Hence the terrible dilemma in which he finds himself and which forces him to the conclusion that God, though He knows him to be innocent... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 9:1-35

Job 9:10-11 He is always equally present with us: but we are so much taken up with sensible things, that, Lo, He goeth by us, and we see Him not; He passeth on also, but we perceive Him not. Devotion is retirement from the world He has made, to Him alone: it is to withdraw from the avocation of sense, to employ our attention wholly upon Him as upon an object actually present, to yield ourselves up to the influence of the Divine presence.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 9:1-35

X.THE THOUGHT OF A DAYSMANJob 9:1-35; Job 10:1-22Job SPEAKSIT is with an infinitely sad restatement of what God has been made to appear to him by Bildad’s speech that Job begins his reply. Yes, yes; it is so. How can man be just before such a God? You tell me my children are overwhelmed with destruction for their sins. You tell me that I, who am not quite dead as yet, may have new prosperity if I put myself into right relations with God. But how can that be? There is no uprightness, no... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 9:1-35

CHAPTERS 9-10 Job Answers Bildad 1. The supremacy and power of God (Job 9:1-10 ) 2. How then can Job meet Him? (Job 9:11-21 ) 3. He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked (Job 9:22-24 ) 4. Confession of weakness and the need of a daysman (Job 9:25-35 ) 5. Murmuring against God (Job 10:1-17 ) 6. Welcoming death (Job 10:18-22 ) Job 9:1-10 . The final words of Bildad seemed to have had a momentary soothing effect upon Job. Of a truth it is so. But here is the question, How can a man be... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 9:1-35

HOW CAN MAN BE JUST BEFORE GOD? (vv.1-13) Job's reply to Bildad occupies two chapters, 35 verses longer than Bildad's arguments had taken. But Job acknowledged, "Truly, I know it is so," that is, he knew that what Bildad said of the end of the hypocrite was true, not the way in which Bildad inferred that Job might be a hypocrite. Then he asks a question of deepest significance, "But how can a man be righteous before God?" (v.2). Comparatively speaking, Job knew that he had been righteous... read more
