Job 26:3

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom?.... A man deprived of wisdom has need of counsel, and it should be given him; and he does well both to ask and take it; and be it so, as if Job should say, that I am the foolish and unwise creature you take me to be, what counsel and advice have you given me?

what a wise counsellor have you shown yourself to be? or rather, what a miserable part have you acted under this character?and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
