Charles Spurgeon Commentary Job 11:5-6

"But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee, And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth." — Job 11:5-6 (ASV)

But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against you; And that He would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is!

Oh, that God would enable you, dear friends, to see your sin, and make you perceive that there is a double meaning in His law — a deep, underlying, spiritual meaning, as well as that which is apparent on the surface, so that a person may be guilty of transgression even when they think it is not so!

Oh, that God would unveil the secrets of His wisdom so as to make you see that He is wiser than all His works, that His hidden wisdom is double that which you have been able to perceive in nature, or in providence, and infinitely greater than He has ever made to appear before men's eyes.
