Job 15:9

"Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?"

Key Reflection

In Job 15:9, the speaker challenges Job, asking if he has access to divine secrets that others lack. This prompts reflection on the limitations of human knowledge and the mystery of God's wisdom, which transcends mere human understanding.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

What knowest thou that we know not? -What pretensions or claims to wisdom have you which we have not? We have had, at least, equal advantages, and may be presumed to know as much as you.
