Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

Job 9:10

Which doeth great things past finding out, yea, and wonders without number. Job cheerfully agreed with his friend, 5:9, on the absolute power and the inexpressible majesty of God. The Lord's great power is put forth not only in the kingdom of nature, but also in His government of man.
