WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE GODLESS?"For what is the hope of the godless though he get him gain,When God taketh away his soul?Will God hear his cryWhen trouble cometh upon him?Will he delight himself in the Almighty,And call upon God at all times?I will teach you concerning the hand of God;That which is with the Almighty I will not conceal.Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;Why then are ye become altogether vain.""Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times" (Job... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 27:13

HERE JOB SPOKE OF THE ULTIMATE FATE OF THE WICKED"This is the portion of a wicked man with God,And the heritage of oppressors, which they received from the Almighty:If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword;And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.Those that remain of him shall be buried in death,And his widows shall make no lamentation.Though he heap up silver as the dust,And prepare raiment as the clay;He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,And the innocent shall... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 27:1

CHAP. XXVII. Job protesteth his sincerity. The hypocrite is without hope. The blessings which the wicked have are turned into curses. Before Christ 1645. Job 27:1. Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said— Concerning the word parable, see Numbers 21:27. We add another criticism upon it from Mr. Peters. "The word משׁל mashal, is the same as is used in Scripture for a proverb, and is the very title given in the book of Proverbs.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 27:5-8

Job 27:5-8. God forbid that I should justify you— See the note on chap. Job 2:9. This and the three following verses afford us a proof of Job's faith, and contain the noble plea that he makes for himself against the reproachful insinuation of his mistaken friends; as if he must needs have been a wicked man and a hypocrite, under all the fair appearances of a strict piety and integrity. "Though I am quite cast down, (says he,) and as miserable almost as it is possible to be in this life, yet God... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 27:15

Job 27:15. Those that remain of him, &c.— The learned Schultens has, I think, given the true meaning of this passage, rendering it, they shall have death itself for their sepulture; i.e. they shall be reduced to so great a degree of misery, that where they die there they shall rot, and no person shall bury them. It is put in antithesis to the costly monuments of the rich. Heath; who renders it, those that remain of him shall rot unburied. read more
