Job - 26:2 Meaning

“How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

26:1-4 Job derided Bildad's answer; his words were a mixture of peevishness and self-preference. Bildad ought to have laid before Job the consolations, rather than the terrors of the Almighty. Christ knows how to speak what is proper for the weary, Isa 50:4; and his ministers should not grieve those whom God would not have made sad. We are often disappointed in our expectations from our friends who should comfort us; but the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, never mistakes, nor fails of his end.

“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
