Hiob 34:35

35 "Hiob redet mit Unverstand, und seine Worte sind nicht klug."

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 er nach deinem Sinn vergelten? Denn du verwirfst alles; du hast zu wählen, und nicht ich. Weißt du nun was, so sage an.

34 Verständige Leute werden zu mir sagen und ein weiser Mann, der mir zuhört:

35 "Hiob redet mit Unverstand, und seine Worte sind nicht klug."

36 O, daß Hiob versucht würde bis ans Ende! darum daß er sich zu ungerechten Leuten kehrt.

37 Denn er hat über seine Sünde noch gelästert; er treibt Spott unter uns und macht seiner Reden viel wider Gott.
