Context of Job 35:10
8If you do wicked things, it is other people who suffer, not God. And if you do good things, you are only helping other people. 9When people suffer, they call aloud for help. They cry for help when powerful people attack them. But none of them says, “I want God to help me. He made me. He gives me songs to sing in dark nights. 11God teaches us more things than he teaches to the animals. He makes us wiser than the birds.” 12Finally, they call for help. But God does not answer them, because they are proud and wicked people.

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. "Gives meditations in the night." - Syriac and Arabic. "And that…Read the comment
- 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
