mockest-upbraidest God by complaints, "shall no man make thee ashamed?"

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:1-6 Zophar attacked Job with great vehemence. He represented him as a man that loved to hear himself speak, though he could say nothing to the purpose, and as a man that maintained falsehoods. He desired God would show Job that less punishment was exacted than he deserved. We are ready, with much assurance, to call God to act in our quarrels, and to think that if he would but speak, he would take our part. We ought to leave all disputes to the judgment of God, which we are sure is according to truth; but those are not always right who are most forward to appeal to the Divine judgment.


Job 17:2 "Surely mockers are with me, And my eye gazes on their provocation.
Job 21:3 "Bear with me that I may speak; Then after I have spoken, you may mock. (NASB ©1995)
