ヨブ記 5:22-26 JC

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 5:26

Thou shalt come to thy grave - Thou shalt not die before thy time; thou shalt depart from life like a full-fed guest; happy in what thou hast known, and in what thou hast enjoyed. Like as a shock of corn - Thou shalt completely run through the round of the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of life; and thou shalt be buried like a wholesome seed in the earth; from which thou shalt again rise up into an eternal spring! read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:1-27

Eliphaz, having narrated his vision, and rehearsed the words which the spirit spoke in his ear, continues in his own person, first ( Job 5:1-7 ) covertly reproaching Job, and then (verses 8-27) seeking to comfort him by the suggestion that, if he will place himself unreservedly in the hands of God, it is still possible that God may relent, remove his chastening hand, deliver him from his troubles, and even give him back all his former prosperity. The anticipation is in remarkable... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:8-27

Refuge from trouble in the thought of God. Conclusion of Eliphaz's address. His language suddenly changes into a gentler strain. It is like the clearing of a dark sky, revealing once more the deep blue; or the bend of a stream which has been flowing through a stern gorge, now broadening out into a sunlit lake. I. THE GREATNESS AND BENEFICENCE OF GOD . ( Job 5:8-16 .) Let men turn to him for comfort and for strength. It is a bright gem of description. 1 . God is the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:17-23

The blessedness of the Divine correction. This was known even in early times, but only fully taught in Now Testament times. It is a great encouragement to men to bear pain and sorrow to know that the Lord afflicts. "He maketh sore," but "he bindeth up;" "he woundeth," but his "hands make whole again." Being a Divine correction, a chastisement from his hand will be— I. A WISE CORRECTION . A good purpose will always be held in view. "Not willingly," "not for his pleasure," does he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:17-27

Eliphaz to Job: 5. The blessedness of chastening. I. CHASTENING — ITS NATURE . 1 . Its subject. Man, as a fallen being; for, though affliction cannot always be connected with particular transgressions as their immediate punishment, it is still true that man's sinfulness is the fundamental reason of his being subjected to correction. 2 . Its Author. God. A thought full of comfort to the chastened; since, God being just, their correction will never be allowed to exceed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:22

At destruction (rather, devastation ) and famine ; rather, dearth. The word is not the same as that used in Job 5:20 , but a weaker cue. Thou shalt laugh; "Thou shalt smile " (Lee). Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth . "The beasts of the earth"— i.e. destructive and ferocious wild beasts, like the Indian "man-eaters"—are enumerated among God's "four sore plagues". In ancient times they were sometimes so numerous in a country that men were afraid to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:23

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field ; i.e. there shall be peace between thee and all the rest of God's creation, even "the stones of the field," against which thou shalt not dash thy foot ( Psalms 91:12 ); and if the senseless stones am thus in league with thee, and refrain from doing thee hurt, much more mayest thou be sure that the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee . For they are not altogether senseless, and will in some sort understand that thou... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:23

In league with nature. Eliphaz argues that, if Job will but submit himself to the ordinances of God, nature itself will be his ally, and the very stones that obstruct his plough, and even the beasts that ravage his flocks, will become his auxiliaries. Here the seer of visions has touched on a great truth. To be in harmony with the Lord of nature is to be in league with nature. I. WE ARE NOT NATURALLY IN LEAGUE WITH NATURE . This is a paradox in form, yet it is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:24

And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace ; rather, thy tent ; i.e. thy habitation, whatever it may be. Thou shalt feel assured of peace in thy dwelling, since God's peace will rest upon it. And thou shalt visit thy habitation; or, thy fold (see the Revised Version). And shalt not sin; and shalt miss nothing (Revised Version). The exact meaning is very uncertain. Professor Lee renders, "Thou shalt not err;" Schultens, "Thou shalt not be disappointed of thy desires;"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:24-27

The final consequences of the Divine chastisement. He who in mercy afflicts, or in equal mercy takes up the evils and ills of life, and, using them as his own instruments, transmutes them into means of grace and blessing, will, after he has tried his servants by their exposure to the storms and pains of life, give them "a desired end." Sooner or later they see "the end of the Lord "—the end the Lord had in view. In these verses the happiest consequences are declared to follow those... read more
