Job 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Job 9:10

Which doth great things past finding out
In heaven and earth; great as to quantity and quality, not to be thoroughly searched out so as to tell their numbers, nor explain and express the nature of them to the full; even what he has done, and does in creation, providence, and grace:

yea, and wonders without number;
such as are amazing to men, who cannot account for them, and so many that they cannot number them. The same things are said by Eliphaz, (See Gill on Job 5:9); and which Job here repeats, to show that he agreed with him, and was ready to own what was truth, whenever expressed by him or his friends, and especially such as made for the glory of the Divine Being.

Job 9:10 In-Context

8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

9 He makes [the stars]: the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern sky.

10 He performs great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.

11 If He passes by me, I wouldn't see Him; [if] He goes right by, I wouldn't recognize Him.

12 If He snatches [something], who can stop Him? Who can ask Him, "What are You doing?"
