Job 27:11
Compare all
9 aWill God hear his cry
When trouble comes upon him? 
10 aWill he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call on God? 
11 “I will teach you1 about the hand of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal. 
12 Surely all of you have seen it;
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?
13 “Thisa is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty: 
14 aIf his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 
15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And atheir widows shall not weep, 
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
17 He may pile it up, but athe just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver. 
18 He builds his house like a1 moth,
aLike a1 booth which a watchman makes. 
19 The rich man will lie down,
1But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is ano more. 
20 aTerrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night. 
21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
It sweeps him out of his place.
22 It hurls against him and does not aspare;
He flees desperately from its1 power. 
23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.

Job 27:11

I will teach you by the hand of God - Relying on Divine assistance, and not speaking out of my own head, or quoting what others have said I will teach you what the mind of the Almighty is, and I will conceal nothing. Job felt that the good hand of his God was upon him, and that therefore he should make no mistake in his doctrines. In this way the Chaldee understood the words, beyad El , by the hand of God, which it translates binbuath Elaha , by the prophecy of God. Those who reject the literal meaning, which conveys a very good sense, may adopt the translation of Mr. Good, which has much to recommend it: "I will teach you concerning the dealings of God."
