10 "If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
10 If he passes through and imprisons and summons the court, who can turn him back?
10 If he happens along, throws you in jail then hauls you into court, can you do anything about it?
10 "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him?
10 If God comes and puts a person in prison or calls the court to order, who can stop him?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 11:10
Commentary on Job 11:7-12
(Read Job 11:7-12)
Zophar speaks well concerning God and his greatness and glory, concerning man and his vanity and folly. See here what man is; and let him be humbled. God sees this concerning vain man, that he would be wise, would be thought so, though he is born like a wild ass's colt, so unteachable and untameable. Man is a vain creature; empty, so the word is. Yet he is a proud creature, and self-conceited. He would be wise, would be thought so, though he will not submit to the laws of wisdom. He would be wise, he reaches after forbidden wisdom, and, like his first parents, aiming to be wise above what is written, loses the tree of life for the tree of knowledge. Is such a creature as this fit to contend with God?
