Job 9
1. Job acknowledges God's justice
22. Man's innocence is not to be condemned by afflictions














He does
This phrase emphasizes the active role of God in the universe. The Hebrew root for "does" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to make or to do. It reflects God's continuous involvement in creation and His sovereign power over all things. In the context of Job, it underscores the belief that God is not a distant deity but one who is intimately involved in the workings of the world. This active participation is a source of comfort and awe for believers, as it assures them that God is always at work, even when His ways are beyond human understanding.

great
The word "great" in Hebrew is "גָּדוֹל" (gadol), which conveys the idea of magnitude and importance. It highlights the vastness and the incomprehensible nature of God's actions. In the biblical context, God's greatness is often associated with His creation, His miracles, and His providence. This greatness is not just in terms of size or power but also in terms of moral and spiritual excellence. It serves as a reminder of the majesty and supremacy of God, encouraging believers to trust in His wisdom and plan.

and unsearchable things
The term "unsearchable" comes from the Hebrew "אֵין חֵקֶר" (ein cheker), meaning beyond investigation or understanding. This phrase points to the mystery of God's ways, which are often beyond human comprehension. In the book of Job, this is a central theme, as Job grapples with the suffering he cannot understand. The unsearchable nature of God's works calls believers to a posture of humility and faith, acknowledging that God's wisdom and purposes are higher than ours, as echoed in Isaiah 55:8-9.

wonders
"Wonders" is translated from the Hebrew "פֶּלֶא" (pele), which refers to miraculous acts that inspire awe and amazement. These are events that defy natural explanation and reveal God's power and glory. Throughout the Bible, wonders are signs of God's intervention in the world, such as the parting of the Red Sea or the resurrection of Jesus. For Job, recognizing God's wonders is an acknowledgment of His divine authority and the miraculous nature of His creation and providence.

without number
This phrase, "without number," is derived from the Hebrew "אֵין מִסְפָּר" (ein mispar), indicating an infinite or countless quantity. It suggests that God's works and wonders are so numerous that they cannot be quantified or fully comprehended by human minds. This infinite nature of God's actions serves to remind believers of His eternal and boundless nature. It encourages a sense of wonder and reverence, as God's deeds are not limited by human constraints or understanding, reinforcing the call to trust in His infinite wisdom and love.

(10) Which doeth great things.--He adopts the very words his former antagonist, Eliphaz, had used in Job 5:9.

Verse 10. 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 unsearch-ableness which were common in the mouths of religious men in his time (comp. Psalm 72:18; and infra, Job 11:7).
