约伯记 14:22 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 14:16-22

Job here returns to his complaints; and, though he is not without hope of future bliss, he finds it very hard to get over his present grievances. I. He complains of the particular hardships he apprehended himself under from the strictness of God's justice, Job 14:16, 17. Therefore he longed to go hence to that world where God's wrath will be past, because now he was under the continual tokens of it, as a child, under the severe discipline of the rod, longs to be of age. ?When shall my change... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 14:22

But his flesh upon him shall have pain ,.... Either he shall be chastened with strong pains on his sick and dying bed; which is the reason why he neither rejoices at the happiness of his family, nor is distressed at their misfortunes; having so much pain in his flesh and bones to endure himself; or, as Gussetius F24 Ebr. Comment. p. 605. renders it, "for this" his flesh and soul shall have pain and grief while he lives, because he cannot know how it will be with his family when he is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 14:22

But his flesh upon him shall have pain - The sum of the life of man is this, pain of body and distress of soul; and he is seldom without the one or the other, and often oppressed by both. Thus ends Job's discourse on the miserable state and condition of man. The last verse of the preceding chapter has been differently translated and explained. Mr. Good's version is the following, which he vindicates in a learned note: - For his flesh shall drop away from him; And his soul shall become... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 14:1-22

This chapter, in which Job concludes the fourth of his addresses, is characterized by a tone of mild and gentle expostulation, which contrasts with the comparative vehemence and passion of the two preceding chapters. It would seem that the patriarch, having vented his feelings, experiences a certain relief, an interval of calm, in which, his own woes pressing less heavily upon him, he is content to moralize on the general condition of humanity. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 14:16-22

Job to God: 4. Falling back into the darkness. I. BROODING OVER HIS MISERY . 1 . A sudden transition. Job's anticipation of the future resurrection-life was a momentary inspiration; not a calm, clear, steady light, diffusing a cheerful radiance within his soul, and shining on his onward progress to the grave, but a bright meteoric flash shooting up before his mind's eye, dazzling it for an instant by celestial splendours, and then plunging across the firmament of his soul... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 14:17-22

Self-defence before God: 4. Relapse into despondent imaginations. I. HE STILL ABOUNDS WITH VARIED FIGURES , THE VERY ELOQUENCE OF COMPLAINT . God has taken his sins and placed them as in a bag, sealed for safety of deposit, that they may be reproduced against him. He appears like an accuser who heaps up scandals and offences against the unhappy object of his wrath ( Job 14:17 ). II. IN THIS LIGHT OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HE FURTHER CONTEMPLATES ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 14:22

But his flesh upon him shall have pain . The best rendering is probably that which is placed in the margin of the Revised Version, only for himself his flesh hath pain , and for himself his soul mourneth. Nothing more is intended than to negative the idea that the future condition of his children will seriously affect a man who is suffering under God's afflicting hand, either in this life or afterwards. He cannot but be occupied solely with himself. His own sufferings, whether of body or... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 14:22

But his flesh upon him shall have pain - Dr. Good renders this, “his flesh shall drop away from him.” This is evidently a representation of the state of the man after he was dead. He would be taken away from hope and from his friends. His body would be committed to the grave, and his spirit would go to the world of shades. The image in the mind seems to have been, that his flesh would suffer. It would be cold and chill, and would be devoured by worms. There seems to have been an impression that... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 14:22

Job 14:22. But his flesh upon him shall have pain Or, while his flesh is upon him; and his soul within him While the soul is clothed with, or united to, the body, he feels sharp pains in his body, and bitter grief in his soul. Dying work is generally hard work; dying pangs sore pangs. It is folly, therefore, for men to defer their repentance to a deathbed, and to have that to do, which is the one thing needful, when they are really unfit to do any thing. But it is true wisdom, by making... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 14:1-22

Job’s reply to Zophar (12:1-14:22)The reply from Job opens with a sarcastic comment on the supposed wisdom of the three friends. They have merely been repeating general truths that everybody knows (12:1-3). They do not have the troubles Job has, and they make no attempt to understand how Job feels. A good person suffers while wicked people live in peace and security (4-6).Job does not argue with the fact that all life is in God’s hands. What worries him is the interpretation of that fact... read more
