Job 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.

Job 34:35 In-Context

33 Est-ce donc d'après tes idées que le mal doit être puni? Car tu as montré du mécontentement. Ainsi, c'est à toi de décider, non à moi! Dis ce que tu sais.

34 Les hommes de sens me diront, ainsi que le sage qui m'aura écouté:

35 "Job ne parle pas avec con-naissance, et ses paroles sont sans intelligence. "

36 Ah! que Job soit éprouvé jusqu'à la fin, puisqu'il a répondu comme les méchants!

37 Car il ajoute à son péché une transgression nouvelle; il s'applaudit au milieu de nous; il parle de plus en plus contre Dieu.
