Job 35:12 - Exposition

There they cry . "There," smitten by calamity, they do at last cry to God. But none giveth answer . They "ask, and receive not." Why? Because of the pride of evil men . Because, i.e; they ask proudly, not humbly; they claim relief as a right, not as a favour; they approach God in a spirit that offends him and prevents him from granting their requests.
