Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Job 34:35

Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom.

Verse 35. Job hath spoken without knowledge] There is no good in arguing with a self-willed, self-conceited man. Job has spoken like a man destitute of wisdom and discretion.

Without knowledge; foolishly and inconsiderately.

Job hath spoken without knowledge,…. Not that Job was an ignorant man, either in things natural or divine; but in this point, about the chastening hand of God upon him, he had said some things which betrayed lack of knowledge, as in Job 34:5;

and his words [were] without wisdom; Job was not destitute of human wisdom, nor of spiritual wisdom, but no man is wise at all times; some things had dropped from him which savoured of folly and ignorance, and which he afterwards was convinced of, and confessed with shame,

Job 40:4; being charged by the Lord himself with what he is here by Elihu, Job 38:2; and it may be observed, that Elihu does not charge Job with being a wicked man, as his three friends did, but as having spoken unadvisedly with lips, under his chastening circumstances, and which he labours to convince him of.

35. Job without knowledge, etc. Such might be the purport of what wise men would say.

Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom.

Ver. 35. Job hath spoken without knowledge ] Inscienter et inscite, He hath outlashed and overshot himself in some words against God; yea, amidst his complaints, he hath let slip not a few lavish and loose speeches; which thing also, being reproved by God, he doth ingenuously acknowledge, Job 40:3-5 ; Job 42:1-6 .

And his words were without wisdom ] Heb. Not in wisdom; and this he here heareth of on both ears, being barely told of it again and again, and not without some bitterness, in the close of this chapter. Some warmth there must be in a reproof (the physic will work the better), but scalding hot it must not be.
