约伯记 2:8-10 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:7-10

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 2:8

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal . "The surface of the integuments," says Dr. Quain, "is often much inflamed, and sometimes discharges a serous ichor, or chyle-like fluid, according to the extent to which the lymphatics are engaged in the particular ease". This "serous or lymph-like fluid" is occasionally "acrid and offensive." Job seems to have used his potsherd to scrape it away . And he sat down among the ashes. Not as a curative process, or even as an alleviation... 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

(along with Genesis 3:1-6 ). Job and Adam: a parallel and a contrast. I. A PARALLEL . 1 . Both were tempted. 2 . By Satan. 3 . Through their wives. 4 . To renounce their allegiance to God. II. A CONTRAST . 1 . In the times of their temptation. Adam when at the summit of felicity; Job when in the depth of misery. 2 . In the modes of their temptation. Adam, assailed by the thought that God had unjustly deprived him of good; Job, by the suggestion that God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:10

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh ; rather, as one of the vile (or impious ) women speaketh. Nabal , the term used, is expressive, not of mere natural folly, but of that perversion of the intellect which comes on men when their hearts and understandings are corrupted and degraded.. (see 2 Samuel 13:13 ; Psalms 14:1 ; Isaiah 32:6 ). What? shall we receive good at the hand of God and shall we not receive evil? Job remembers all the good... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 2:8

And he took him a potsherd - The word used here חרשׁ chârâsh means a fragment of a broken vessel; see the notes at Isaiah 45:9. The Septuagint renders it ὄστρακον ostrakon - “a shell.” One object of taking this was to remove from his body the filth accumulated by the universal ulcer, compare Job 7:4-5; and another design probably was, to “indicate” the greatness of his calamity and sorrow. The ancients were accustomed to show their grief by significant external actions (compare the notes at... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 2:9

Then said his wife unto him - Some remarkable additions are made by the ancient versions to this passage. The Chaldee renders it, “and “Dinah” (דינה dı̂ynâh), his wife, said to him.” The author of that paraphrase seems to have supposed that Job lived in the time of Jacob, and had married his daughter Dinah; Genesis 30:21. Drusius says, that this was the opinion of the Hebrews, and quotes a declaration from the Gemara to this effect: “Job lived in the days of Jacob, and was born when the... read more
