Job 35:9 - Exposition

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry ; rather, by reason of the multitude of oppressions , men cry out. It is not Job only who cries to God. Oppressors are numerous; the oppressed are numerous; everywhere there are complaints and outcries. They cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. The oppressors are, for the most part, the mighty of the earth—kings, princes, nobles (see Isaiah 1:23 ; Isaiah 3:14 , Isaiah 3:15 ; Hosea 5:10 ; Amos 4:1 , etc.).
