Mighty — So that whether men contend with God by wisdom or by strength: God will be conqueror. Hardened himself — Obstinately contended with him. The devil promised himself that Job in the day of his affliction, would curse and speak ill of God. But instead of that, he sets himself to honour God, and speak highly of him.
