Context of Job 35:14

12There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men. 13Surely God will not hear an emptycry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! 15But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; 16Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.

Commentaries on Job 35:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14Thou sayest thou shalt not see Him - Several MSS. have "Thou shalt not see me," and the Septuagint, and one other, "Thou shalt not see us," but without the points, תשורנו , the original may be read see Him or see Us, the third person singular, or the first person plural. Yet judgment is before him - Rest assured that God has not forgotten either to punish or to save; therefore trust in him; choose to be a monument of his mercy, rather than of his justice.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him - This is addressed to Job, and is designed to entreat him to trust in God. Elihu seems to refer to some remark that Job had made, like that in Job 23:8, where he said that he could not come near him, nor bring his cause before him. If he went to the east, the west, thc north, or the south, he could not see him, and could get no opportunity of bringing his cause before him: see the notes at that place. Elihu…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-16Verses 14-16 As in prosperity we are ready to think our mountain will never be brought low; so when in adversity, we are ready to think our valley will never be filled up. But to conclude that to-morrow must be as this day, is as absurd as to think that the weather, when either fair or foul, will be always so. When Job looked up to God, he had no reason to speak despairingly. There is a day of judgment, when all that seems amiss will be found to be right…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1414. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him--(as a temporal deliverer; for he did look for a Redeemer after death, Job 19:25-27; which passage cannot consistently with Elihu's assertion here be interpreted of "seeing" a temporal "redeemer"), Job 7:7; 9:11; 23:3, 8, 9; yet, judgment ... ; therefore trust ... But the Hebrew favors Maurer, "How much less (will God ... regard, Job 35:13), since thou sayest, that He does not regard thee." So in Job 4:19…Read the comment
