Notes

Job 9:5–6

When God moves mountains or shakes the earth, it shows his presence as:

One who gives laws (Exodus 19:18).
One who judges (Jeremiah 4:24).
One who rescues (Psalm 18:7; Isaiah 13:13; 29:6).

Job 9:1–35

Job answered Bildad by describing God's universal and legal power. His speech resembles a complex legal case.

It includes:

A summons and response (9:3, 14–16, 19b, 32).
The risk of proving himself guilty (9:20).
A "mediator" (9:33–34).
A question of accusation (9:12).
A legal sentence (9:22).
A declaration of guilt (9:28–30).
