The Pulpit Commentary on Job 27:11

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

I will teach you by (or, concerning) the hand of God. Job is now at last about to deliver his real sentiments respecting God's dealings with men in the world, and prefaces his. remarks with this solemn introduction, to draw special attention to them.

He is aware that his previous statements on the subject, especially in Job 24:2-24, have been overstrained and exaggerated, and wishes, now that he is uttering his last words (Job 31:40), to correct his previous hasty utterances, and put on record his true views.

That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. By "that which is with the Almighty" Job means the Divine principles of action.
