Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 11:11

_ _ (Psalms 94:11).

_ _ consider — so as to punish it. Rather, from the connection, Job 11:6, “He seeth wickedness also, which man does not perceive”; literally, “But no (other, save He) perceiveth it” [Umbreit]. God’s “wisdom” (Job 11:6), detects sin where Job’s human eye cannot reach (Job 11:8), so as to see any.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 11:7-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 11:11

Knoweth — Though men know but little of God, yet God knows man exactly. He knoweth that every man in the world is guilty of much vanity and folly, and therefore seeth sufficient reason for his severity against the best men. Wickedness — He perceiveth the wickedness of evil men, though it be covered with the veil of religion. Consider — Shall he only see it as an idle spectator, and not observe it as a judge to punish it?
