King James Bible - Job 9:16

SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:16

Que si yo le invocase, y él me respondiese, aún no creeré que haya escuchado mi voz.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 9:16

Verse 16. If I had called, and he had answered- I could scarcely suppose, such is his majesty and such his holiness, that he could condescend to notice a being so mean, and in every respect so infinitely beneath his notice. These sentiments sufficiently confuted that slander of his friends, who said he was presumptuous, had not becoming notions of the majesty of God, and used blasphemous expressions against his sovereign authority.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-21 - Job is still righteous in his own eyes, ch. 32:1, and this answer though it sets forth the power and majesty of God, implies that the question between the afflicted and the Lord of providence, is question of might, and not of right; and we begin to discover the evi fruits of pride and of a self-righteous spirit. Job begins to manifes a disposition to condemn God, that he may justify himself, for which he is afterwards reproved. Still Job knew so much of himself, that he durst not stand a trial. If we say, We have no sin, we not only deceiv ourselves, but we affront God; for we sin in saying so, and give the lie to the Scripture. But Job reflected on God's goodness and justic in saying his affliction was without cause.
