Wesley's Notes for Job 40:7

40:5 Answer - Speak again; I will contend no more with thee. Twice - Often, the definite number being used indefinitely.

40:6 Whirlwind - Which was renewed when God renewed his charge upon Job, whom he intended to humble more throughly.

40:8 Wilt thou - Every word is emphatical, wilt (art thou resolved upon it) thou (thou Job, whom I took to be one of a better mind) also (not only vindicate thyself, but also accuse me) disannul (not only question, but even repeal and make void, as if it were unjust) my judgment? My sentence against thee, and my government and administration of human affairs? Wilt thou make me unrighteous that thou mayst seem to be righteous?
