Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 11:3

_ _ lies — rather, “vain boasting” (Isaiah 16:6; Jeremiah 48:30). The “men” is emphatic; men of sense; in antithesis to “vain boasting.”

_ _ mockest — upbraidest God by complaints, “shall no man make thee ashamed?”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 11:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 11:3

Lies — Both concerning thy own innocency, and concerning the counsels and ways of God. Mockest — Our friendly and faithful counsels, Job 6:14-15, Job 6:25-26.
