This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Since no creature whatsoever can resist his power, and no man living can search out or comprehend his counsels and ways; how can I, who am a poor, contemptible, dispirited creature, contend with him?



Answer him, i.e. answer his allegations and arguments produced against me.



Choose out my words to reason with him, Heb. choose my words with (or before, or against, as this particle is used, Deu_9:7 Psa_94:16 Pro_30:31) him, i.e. shall I try whether God or I can choose fitter words, or stronger arguments? or shall I contend with him, and expect to get the better of him by using choice, and forcible, and elegant words, as one man doth with another?
