The Pulpit Commentary on Job 11:10

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

If he cut off; rather, if he advance (comp. Job 9:11). And shut up; or, imprison. Or gather together; rather, and call to judgment (see the Revised Version). If God, that is, advance against a man in hostile fashion, seize and imprison him, and then call him to judgment, what is to be said or done?

who can interfere with him? Matters must take their course. There is no ground for complaint It is simply God's mode of administering justice on the earth. Who can hinder him? literally, who can turn him sway?

i.e. interfere with his action, interrupt it, divert it.
