“Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.”
Job 40:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 40:14
"Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee." If Job could do what verses 11-13 describe—execute perfect judgment—God would acknowledge Job could save himself. The Hebrew odeka (אוֹדֶךָ, "I will confess/acknowledge to you") indicates God admitting Job's self-sufficiency. But Job cannot, therefore needs God's salvation. This reveals the core issue: human inability to save ourselves necessitates divine grace. The verse anticipates the gospel—recognizing our powerlessness is the prerequisite for receiving God's saving power.
