Context of Job 35:10
8Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man. 9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty: But none saith, Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night, 11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens? 12There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.

Commentaries on Job 35:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Where is God my Maker - They have no just apprehension of his being; they do not consider themselves his creatures, or that he who created them still preserves them, and would make them happy if they would pray unto him. Who giveth songs in the night - This is variously translated. "Before whom the high angels give praise in the night." - Chaldee. "Who sets the night-watches." - Septuagint.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10But none saith - That is, none of the oppressed and down-trodden say. This is the solution which Elihu gives of what appeared so mysterious to Job, and of what Elihu regarded as the source of the bitter complaints of Job. The solution is, that when people are oppressed they do not apply to God with a proper spirit, and look to him that they may find relief. It was a principle with Elihu, that if when a man was afflicted he would apply to God with a humble…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-13Verses 9-13 Job complained that God did not regard the cries of the oppressed against their oppressors. This he knew not how to reconcile the justice of God and his government. Elihu solves the difficulty. Men do not notice the mercies they enjoy in and under their afflictions, nor are thankful for them, therefore they cannot expect that God should deliver them out of affliction. He gives songs in the night; when our condition is dark and melancholy…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-1310-13. But the reason is that the innocent sufferers often do not humbly seek God for succor; so to their "pride" is to be laid the blame of their ruin; also because (Job 35:13-16) they, as Job, instead of waiting God's time in pious trust, are prone to despair of His justice, when it is not immediately visible (Job 33:19-26). If the sufferer would apply to God with a humbled, penitent spirit, He would hear. Where, &c.--(Jr 2:6, 8; Is 51:13). songs--of…Read the comment
