Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 34:37

_ _ clappeth ... hands — in scorn (Job 27:23; Ezekiel 21:17).

_ _ multiplieth ... words — (Job 11:2; Job 35:16). To his original “sin” to correct which trials have been sent, “he adds rebellion,” that is, words arraigning God’s justice.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 34:31-37.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 34:37

Addeth — He sinned before, by impatience under his afflictions, now he is grown obstinate, and instead of humbling himself for his sins, justifies himself, and accuses the blessed God. Clapped — Insulting and triumphing. Against God — In effect, though not directly.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 34:37

For he (e) addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

(e) He stands stubbornly to the maintenance of his cause.
