Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - Is it good that he should search you out? "Are your motives in thus acting," Job asks his opponents, "so pure that they will stand the severity of God's judgment when he turns his scrutiny upon you and searches out the grounds of your proceedings? Is not your real motive to carry favour with him because he is so great and powerful?" Or as one man mocketh another, do ye so meek him? You may impose on a man by so acting, but you will not impose on God.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) As one man mocketh another.--As one man, with mingled flattery and deception, seeks to impose upon another.
