ヨブ記 2:9-13 JC

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 2:12

They rent every one his mantle - I have already had frequent occasions to point out and illustrate, by quotations from the ancients, the actions that were used in order to express profound grief; such as wrapping themselves in sackcloth, covering the face, strewing dust or ashes upon the head, sitting upon the bare ground, etc., etc.; significant actions which were in use among all nations. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 2:13

They sat down with him upon the ground seven days - They were astonished at the unprecedented change which had taken place in the circumstances of this most eminent man; they could not reconcile his present situation with any thing they had met with in the history of Divine providence. The seven days mentioned here were the period appointed for mourning. The Israelites mourned for Jacob seven days, Genesis 50:10 . And the men of Jabesh mourned so long for the death of Saul, 1 Samuel 31:13... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:1-10

Renewed assaults and temptations of the adversary. The first scene in this drama of affliction has closed, and a fresh one opens, bringing, however, no happy change, no alleviation, but rather an aggravation of the hero's woe. A second time the adversary of mankind appears in the heavenly court to launch his malicious shafts of accusation against the servant of God. His purpose is now more intent, his aim more deadly, than ever. But we, as spectators, can see a bright light still steadily... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:1-10

The severer tests of faith. Job has triumphed in the severe ordeal. His possessions, his servants, his family, have been torn from him. In the bitterness of his sorrow he has "rent his mantle," and shown the signs of his humiliation by cutting off the hair of his head. But in the paroxysms of his grief he has "held fast his integrity;" he "sinned not, nor charged God foolishly." So far he has passed through the fire unscathed, and belied the false accusations of the adversary. But further... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:1-13

This chapter concludes the "Introductory section." It consists of three parts. Job 2:1-6 contain an account of Satan's second appearance in the courts of heaven, and of a second colloquy between him and the Almighty. Job 2:7-10 contain the sequel to this colloquy, viz. Satan's further affliction of Job, and his conduct under it. Verses 11-13 contain an account of the arrival of Job's three special friends to mourn with him and to comfort him; and of their behavior during the first... read more

The patriarch's second trial. I. THE TWOFOLD ASSAULT UPON THE PATRIARCH . 1 . The infliction of a loathsome disease. (a) by wearing out his strength, and so rendering him more accessible to the entrance of diabolic temptations; (b) by making him an object of abhorrence to mankind, and so in a manner cutting him off from human sympathy; and (c) by leading him to regard his malady as a special visitation from Heaven, and so tempting him to entertain harsh thoughts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:9

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Job's wife had said nothing when the other calamities had taken place—then she had "refrained her tongue, and kept silence," though probably with some difficulty. Now she can endure no longer. To see her husband so afflicted, and so patient under his afflictions, is more than she can bear. Her mind is weak and ill regulated, and she suffers herself to become Satan's ally and her husband's worst enemy. It is noticeable that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:9

Husband and wife. I. THE WIFE 'S TEMPTATION . 1 . Its source . Job is now tempted by his own wile—by her who is nearest to him, and who should be almost his second self. Chrysostom asks, "Why did the devil leave him his wife?' and replies, "Because he thought her a good scourge by which to plague him more acutely than by any other means." Certainly the temptation which comes through one whom we love is the most powerful. Christ met the tempter in a favourite disciple. It is the... read more
