[Job 25](/study/job/25) [Job 27](/study/job/27) ## Commentary To verse 1 CHAP. XXVI. *Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad, acknowledges the power of* *God to be infinite and unsearchable.* *Before Christ 1645.* ***[Job 26:1](/kjv/job/26/1)*****.*****But Job answered and said*****—** Job, finding his friends quite driven from their strong hold, and reduced to give up the argument, now tells them, Job 26:2-3 if the business was to celebrate the power and wisdom of the Almighty, he could produce as many shining instances of it as they could; but at the same time he intimates, that their behaviour was mean, after so great a parade of wisdom as they had exhibited, to shelter themselves at last behind the power of God, rather than generously give up an argument which they were unable to maintain, and acquit him of a suspicion which they were not capable of supporting by a conviction.
