Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 13:20-28

Job’s presentation of his case to God 13:20-28As in his replies to Eliphaz (Job 7:12-21) and Bildad (Job 9:28-33; Job 10:2-19), Job also addressed God in this reply to Zophar (Job 13:20 to Job 14:22). Job asked God to stop afflicting him and to stop terrifying him (Job 13:20-21). He also requested a courtroom confrontation with God (Job 13:22). God did not reply, so Job asked Him to list his sins (Job 13:23). Still there was no answer. This led Job to ask why God was hiding and hostile to him... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 13:1-28

Job’s Third Speech (continued)1-12. Job claims to understand as much about God as the friends. He rejects their opinion as to the cause of his troubles, and regards it as an attempt to curry favour with God.1. The v. is in close connexion with Job 12. Eye refers to Job 12:7-8, ear to Job 12:13.: cp. Job 12:113. Surely] rather, ’but.’ Job seeks an explanation from God, not from man. 4. Forgers] better, ’plasterers,’ i.e. they plaster their lies over God’s misgovernment and hide its evils. 7, 8.... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 13:1-28

Job 13:5 Great talkers do not at all speak from their having anything to say, as every sentence shows, but only from their inclination to be talking. Their conversation is merely an exercise of the tongue: no other human faculty has any share in it It is strange these persons can help reflecting, that unless they have in truth a superior capacity, and are in an extraordinary manner furnished for conversation; if they are entertaining it is at their own expense. Is it possible, that it should... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 13:1-28

XII.BEYOND FACT AND FEAR TO GODJob 12:1-25; Job 13:1-28; Job 14:1-22Job SPEAKSZOPHAR excites in Job’s mind great irritation, which must not be set down altogether to the fact that he is the third to speak. In some respects he has made the best attack from the old position, pressing most upon the conscience of Job. He has also used a curt positive tone in setting out the method and principle of Divine government and the judgment he has formed of his friend’s state. Job is accordingly the more... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 13:1-28

JOB DECLARES HIMSELF FULLY EQUAL TO HIS FRIENDS (vv.1-12) Job has spoken at length of God's wisdom and power, now he tells Zophar that his eye has seen all this, his ear has heard it and understood it. What Zophar knew Job knew also: he was not inferior to his critics (vv.1-2). In fact, what Job has said proves him more knowledgeable than they, so his words in verse 2 are an understatement. In verse 3 he infers that it was no use talking to them: he wanted to speak to the Almighty, to... read more
