Job 35:16

The Pulpit Commentary on Job 35:16

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

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; or, in vanity (comp. verse 13). He multiplieth words without knowledge; i.e. he is bold to speak words that are vain and insensate, because God has not, as he might have done, punished him for his previous utterances.
