Hiob 34:35

35 Hiob redet nicht mit Erkenntnis, und seine Worte sind ohne Einsicht.

Hiob 34:35 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:35

Job hath spoken without knowledge
Not that Job was an ignorant man, either in things natural or divine; but in this point, about the chastening hand of God upon him, he had said some things which betrayed lack of knowledge, as in ( Job 34:5 ) ;

and his words [were] without wisdom;
Job was not destitute of human wisdom, nor of spiritual wisdom, but no man is wise at all times; some things had dropped from him which savoured of folly and ignorance, and which he afterwards was convinced of, and confessed with shame, ( Job 40:4 Job 40:5 ) ( 42:3 ) ; being charged by the Lord himself with what he is here by Elihu, ( Job 38:2 ) ; and it may be observed, that Elihu does not charge Job with being a wicked man, as his three friends did, but as having spoken unadvisedly with lips, under his chastening circumstances, and which he labours to convince him of.

Hiob 34:35 In-Context

33 Soll nach deinem Sinne er es vergelten? Denn du hast seine Vergeltung verworfen, und so mußt du wählen, und nicht ich; was du weißt, reden denn!
34 Männer von Verstand werden zu mir sagen, und ein weiser Mann, der mir zuhört:
35 Hiob redet nicht mit Erkenntnis, und seine Worte sind ohne Einsicht.
36 Ach, daß doch Hiob fort und fort geprüft würde wegen seiner Antworten nach Frevlerart!
37 Denn er fügt seiner Sünde Übertretung hinzu, klatscht unter uns in die Hände und mehrt seine Worte gegen Gott.
