约伯记 6:8-10 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 6:8-13

Ungoverned passion often grows more violent when it meets with some rebuke and check. The troubled sea rages most when it dashes against a rock. Job had been courting death, as that which would be the happy period of his miseries, Job 3:1-26. For this Eliphaz had gravely reproved him, but he, instead of unsaying what he had said, says it here again with more vehemence than before; and it is as ill said as almost any thing we meet with in all his discourses, and is recorded for our admonition,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 6:8

And that I might have my request ,.... Or that it "might come" F13 תבוא "ut veniat", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Schmidt, Michaelis; "utinam veniret", Schultens. ; that it might go up to heaven, enter there, and come into the ears of the Lord, be attended to, admitted, and received by him, see Psalm 18:6 ; or come to Job, be returned into his bosom, be answered and fulfilled; the same with the desire that "cometh", which is, when the thing desired is enjoyed, Proverbs 13:12 ; or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 6:9

Even that it would please God to destroy me ,.... Not with an everlasting destruction of body and soul; for destruction from the Almighty was a terror to him, Job 31:23 ; but with the destruction of the body only; not with an annihilation of it, but with the dissolution of it, or of that union there was between his soul and body: the word F14 ידכאני "me conterat", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus, Schmidt; so Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Michaelis, Schultens. used signifies... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 6:10

Then should I yet have comfort ,.... Either before death, and in the midst of all his pains and sorrows, being in view of it as near at hand, and sure and certain; could he but be assured of its near approach, he could exult in his afflictions; it would be an alleviation of his trouble, that he should be soon out of it; and he would sit and sing upon the brink of eternity, and say, "O death, where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy victory?" 1 Corinthians 15:55 ; his sufferings being just... read more

O that I might have - As Job had no hope that he should ever be redeemed from his present helpless state, he earnestly begs God to shorten it by taking away his life. read more

Let loose his hand - A metaphor taken from an archer drawing his arrow to the head, and then loosing his hold, that the arrow may fly to the mark. See on Job 6:4 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 6:10

Then should I yet have comfort - Instead of עוד od , Yet, three of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS. have זאת zoth , This. And This should be my comfort. The expectation that he will speedily make an end of me would cause me to rejoice with great joy. This reading is supported by the Vulgate and the Chaldee. I would harden myself in sorrow - To know that I should shortly have an end put to my miseries would cause me to endure the present with determinate resolution. Let him not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 6:1-13

Job to Eliphaz: 1. Apologies and prayers. I. A DESPERATE MAN 'S DEFENCE . 1. Job ' s calamities surveyed. 2 . Job ' s grief justified. II. A MISERABLE MAN 'S PRAYER . 1 . Job ' s urgent request. "Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!" (verse 8)—that thing being death (cf. Job 3:21 ). Job longed for death as a release from his sufferings ( Job 3:13 ); Elijah, under a sense of weariness and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 6:1-13

The sufferer's self-justification. ( Job 6:1-30 ; Job 7:1-21 .) We have seen that Eliphaz's counsels, though well-meant, were ill-timed. They were right words ' but not fitly spoken as to person, time, and place. They cause the poor sufferer to wince afresh instead of soothing his pain. The tumult of his spirit is now aggravated into a very tempest of woe. The human spirit is a thing of moods. We have watched the marvellous changes that pass over the surface of a lake beneath a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 6:1-13

A true estimate of grief under the severities of affliction. Even the strong man cries for help and release. Job, in his extreme sufferings, desires that a fair judgment may be formed of them and of his complaint. Put this into one seals, and them into the other, and behold which of them is the lighter. Thus he describes them— I. THE INSUFFERABLE WEIGHT OF HIS AFFLICTION . It is as the unknown weight of the sand of the seashore. Affliction is truly as the pressure of a great... read more
