Job 39:34

34 Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these ? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

Job 39:34 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 39

This chapter treats of various creatures, beasts and birds, which Job had little knowledge of, had no concern in the making of them, and scarcely any power over them; as of the goats and hinds, Job 39:1-4; of the wild ass, Job 39:5-8; of the unicorn, Job 39:9-12; of the peacock and ostrich, Job 39:13-18; of the horse, Job 39:19-25; and of the hawk and eagle, Job 39:26-30.

Job 39:34 In-Context

32 Will pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.

33 And Job answered and said to the Lord,

34 Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these ? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

35 I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.
