Job 35:16

Compare all

14 ^aAlthough you say you do not see Him,
Yet justice is before Him, and ^byou must wait for Him.

15 And now, because He has not ^apunished in His anger,
Nor taken much notice of folly,

16 ^aTherefore Job opens his mouth in vain;
He multiplies words without knowledge.”

<< Job 35:15

Job 36:1 >>

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain - God will execute vengeance when it may best serve the ends of his justice, providence, and mercy. The delay of judgment is not proof that it shall not be executed; nor is the deferring of mercy any proof that God has forgotten to be gracious.

He multiplieth words without knowledge - However this may apply to Job, it most certainly applies very strongly and generally to the words, not only of Job' s three friends, but to those also of Elihu himself. The contest is frequently a strife of words.
