Commentary for Job 37:20

Need it be told to Him when I speak Is He like mortals, that He must be told what we are saying?

On the other hand, how could Job’s assertion that God has delegated Governance to the Cosmos be left unchallenged?

or need a man tell utter with his mouth.

what is kept a secret so that it should be revealed to Him immediately, like (II Sam. 17:16), “lest the king be told secretly (יבלע)” [lest] it be revealed. But our Sages (Meg. 18a) explained: Can all His praise be told Him, that I should speak That we should speak of Him and His might? Has any man said to tell them all, he would surely be destroyed from his place.
