Job 27:11

"Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?"

Key Reflection

This verse challenges the notion that wicked individuals find true satisfaction or seek divine help; instead, it suggests that such people ultimately fail to genuinely connect with the Almighty or sincerely invoke Him for aid. It highlights the contrast between genuine faith and false piety, indicating that those who truly trust in God will consistently turn to Him.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will teach you by the hand of God -Margin, “or, being in.” Coverdale, “In the name of God.” So Tindal, Noyes, “Concerning the hand of God.” Good, “Concerning the dealings of God.” The Chaldee renders itאלהאבנביאת- “By the prophecy of God.” Luther, “I will teach you by the hand of God.” The idea evidently is, that Job would instruct them by what God had done. He would appeal to his works, and to the dispensations of his providence; and by the indications of wisdom and skill which were to be found there, he would derive important lessons for their instruction on the great principles of his administration.
