‏ Job 35:13

10-13. But the reason is that the innocent sufferers often do not humbly seek God for succor; so to their "pride" is to be laid the blame of their ruin; also because (Job 35:13-16) they, as Job, instead of waiting God's time in pious trust, are prone to despair of His justice, when it is not immediately visible (Job 33:19-26). If the sufferer would apply to God with a humbled, penitent spirit, He would hear.

Where, &c.--(Jr 2:6, 8; Is 51:13).

songs--of joy at deliverance (Psa 42:8; 149:5; Ac 16:25).

in the night--unexpectedly (Job 34:20, 25). Rather, "in calamity."
