13 God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud
13 "God will not turn back his anger; beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.
13 God doesn't hold back on his anger; even dragon-bred monsters cringe before him.
13 God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.
13 And God does not restrain his anger. Even the monsters of the sea are crushed beneath his feet.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 9:13
Commentary on Job 9:1-13
(Read Job 9:1-13)
In this answer Job declared that he did not doubt the justice of God, when he denied himself to be a hypocrite; for how should man be just with God? Before him he pleaded guilty of sins more than could be counted; and if God should contend with him in judgment, he could not justify one out of a thousand, of all the thoughts, words, and actions of his life; therefore he deserved worse than all his present sufferings. When Job mentions the wisdom and power of God, he forgets his complaints. We are unfit to judge of God's proceedings, because we know not what he does, or what he designs. God acts with power which no creature can resist. Those who think they have strength enough to help others, will not be able to help themselves against it.
