ヨブ記 40:6-9 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 40:6-14

Job was greatly humbled for what God had already said, but not sufficiently; he was brought low, but not low enough; and therefore God here proceeds to reason with him in the same manner and to the same purport as before, Job 40:6. Observe, 1. Those who duly receive what they have heard from God, and profit by it, shall hear more from him. 2. Those who are truly convinced of sin, and penitent for it, yet have need to be more thoroughly convinced and to be made more deeply penitent. Those who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:6

Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind ,.... Some think that the whirlwind ceased while the Lord spake the words in Job 40:2 ; which encouraged Job to make the answer he did; but others are of opinion that it continued, and now increased, and was more boisterous than before. The Targum calls it the whirlwind of tribulation: comfort does not always follow immediately on first convictions; Job, though humbled, was not yet humbled enough: God will have a fuller confession of sin... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:7

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and , declare thou unto me ,.... And prepare to give an answer to what should be demanded of him. The same way of speaking is used in Job 38:3 ; See Gill on Job 38:3 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:8

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment ?.... The decrees and purposes of God concerning his dealings with men, particularly the afflictions of them, which are framed with the highest wisdom and reason, and according to the strictest justice, and can never be frustrated or made void; or the sentence of God concerning them, that is gone out of his mouth and cannot be altered; or the execution of it, which cannot be hindered: it respects the wisdom of God in the government of the world, as Aben... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:9

Hast thou an arm like God ?.... Such power as he has, which is infinite, almighty, and uncontrollable, and therefore there is no contending with him; as he has an arm on which good men may lean on and trust in, and by which they are supported, protected, and saved, so he has an arm to crush like a moth all that strive with him or against him; or canst thou thunder with a voice like him ? thunder is his voice; see Job 37:4 , &c.; and is expressive of his power, Job 26:14 ; and his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 40:7

Gird up thy loins - See Job 38:1-3 . Some think that this and the preceding verse have been repeated here from Job 38:1-3 , and that several of the words there, here, and Job 42:3 , have been repeated, in after times, to connect some false gatherings of the sheets of parchment, on which the end of this poem was originally written. See on Job 40:1 ; (note), and at the end of the chapter. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 40:8

Wilt thou condemn me - Rather than submit to be thought in the wrong, wilt thou condemn My conduct, in order to justify thyself? Some men will never acknowledge themselves in the wrong. "God may err, but we cannot," seems to be their impious maxim. Unwillingness to acknowledge a fault frequently leads men, directly or indirectly, to this sort of blasphemy. There are three words most difficult to be pronounced in all languages, - I Am Wrong. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 40:9

Hast thou an arm like God? - Every word, from this to the end of Job 40:14 , has a wonderful tendency to humble the soul; and it is no wonder that at the conclusion of these sayings Job fell in the dust confounded, and ascribed righteousness to his Maker. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 40:6-14

Jehovah to Job: the second answer: 1. A sublime challenge. I. A SUMMONS ISSUED . "Gird up thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me." Here again appears a series of gracious wonders. 1 . That Jehovah should propose to continue further the instruction of his servant. But so God deals with all whom he undertakes to educate, teaching them with patience, perseverance, minuteness, giving them line upon line, and desisting not until their spiritual... read more
