Giobbe 34:35

35 Che Giobbe non parla con conoscimento, E che le sue parole non sono con intendimento.

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 34:35 In-Context

33 Vorresti tu, ch’egli ti facesse la retribuzione di ciò ch’è proceduto da te? Sei tu che rifiuti ed eleggi, non già io; Di’ pure ciò che tu sai.
34 Gli uomini di senno diranno meco, E l’uomo savio mi acconsentirà,
35 Che Giobbe non parla con conoscimento, E che le sue parole non sono con intendimento.
36 O padre mio, sia pur Giobbe provato infino all’ultimo, Per cagione delle sue repliche, simili a quelle degli uomini iniqui.
37 Perciocchè altrimenti egli aggiungerà misfatto al suo peccato, Si batterà a palme fra noi, E moltiplicherà le parole sue contro a Dio.
