Job 9:10 - Exposition

Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number . An almost exact repetition of the words of Eliphaz in Job 5:9 . The repetition may have been conscious or unconscious. Job may have meant to say, "My view of God embraces all that you can tell me of him, and goes further;" or he may simply have used words concerning the Divine unsearchableness which were common in the mouths of religious men in his time (comp. Psalms 72:18 ; and infra, Job 11:7 ).
