Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom.

Ver. 35. Job hath spoken without knowledge] Inscienter et inscite, He hath outlashed and overshot himself in some words against God; yea, amidst his complaints, he hath let slip not a few lavish and loose speeches; which thing also, being reproved by God, he doth ingenuously acknowledge, Job 40:3,5; Job 42:1,6 .

And his words were without wisdom] Heb. Not in wisdom; and this he here heareth of on both ears, being barely told of it again and again, and not without some bitterness, in the close of this chapter. Some warmth there must be in a reproof (the physic will work the better), but scalding hot it must not be.
