Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 6:14-23

Job’s disappointment with his friends 6:14-23"If, up to this point, Job has been praying, or at least soliloquizing, now he makes a more direct attack on the friends (the ’you’ in Job 6:21 is plural)." [Note: Ibid., p. 130.] "Eliphaz has attacked Job’s complaint; Job now attacks Eliphaz’ ’consolation.’" [Note: Kline, p. 468.] Job’s friends had not been loyal to him when they judged him as they had. "Kindness" in Job 6:14 is literally "loyalty." Consequently, Job was close to forsaking his fear... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 6:1-30

The First Speech of Job (Job 6, 7)1-13. Job, smarting under the remarks of Eliphaz, which he feels are not appropriate to his case, renews and justifies his complaints. He bemoans the heaviness of God’s hand, and wishes that He would slay him outright.2, 3. Job admits that he was rash in his remarks (in Job 3), but declares that his language was justified by his miserable condition.3. Are swallowed up] RV ’have been rash.’4. It is because he feels that his troubles are due to God that he is... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 6:1-30

Job 6:1 f The sixth and seventh chapters are molten from end to end, and run in one burning stream.... Everything which can be said by a sick man against life is in these chapters. The whole of a vast subsequent literature is summed up here, and he who has once read it may fairly ask never to be troubled with anything more upon that side. Mark Rutherford, The Deliverance, p. 13 f. 'When He does smite,' wrote General Gordon to his sister from the Red Sea in 1879, 'His arrows are almost too... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 6:1-30

VIII.MEN FALSE: GOD OVERBEARINGJob 6:1-30; Job 7:1-21Job SPEAKSWORST to endure of all things is the grief that preys on a man’s own heart because no channel outside self is provided for the hot stream of thought. Now that Eliphaz has spoken, Job has something to arouse him, at least to resentment. The strength of his mind revives as he finds himself called to a battle of words. And how energetic he is! The long address of Eliphaz we saw to be incoherent, without the backbone of any clear... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 6:1-30

CHAPTERS 6-7 Job’s Answer 1. His Despair justified by the greatness of his suffering (Job 6:1-7 ) 2. He requests to be cut off (Job 6:8-13 ) 3. He reproacheth his friends (Job 6:14-30 ) 4. The misery of life (Job 7:1-7 ) 5. Two questions: Why does God deal with me thus? Why does He not pardon? (Job 7:8-21 ) Job 6:1-7 . He meets first of all the reproach and accusation of Eliphaz (Job 4:1-5 ). Because his sufferings are so great his utterances are so desperately wild. If Eliphaz only... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 6:1-30

JOB'S REPLY TO ELIPHAZ (vv.1-30) It is remarkable that Job, being in the painful condition he was, was still able to reply in such capable and stirring language to Eliphaz. He knew that Eliphaz had not shown any understanding of Job's predicament, and he again emphasised the unutterable pain and grief that had overtaken him. He knew Eliphaz had not weighed Job's grief accurately, or he would have had more compassion for the poor sufferer (vv.2-3). Job says, "Therefore my words have been... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 6:1-30

FIRST SERIES OF THE DEBATE The first series of the debate may be outlined as follows: 1. With Eliphaz (chaps. 4-7) a. Speech of Eliphaz (chaps. 4-5) b. Reply of (chaps. 6-7) 2. With Bildad (chaps. 8-10) a. Speech of Bildad (chap. 8) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 9-10) 3. With Zophar (chaps. 11-14) a. Speech of Zophar (chap. 11) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 12-14) It is thought the debate may have occupied several days, by which supposition some of the difficulties of the book are removed. In the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 6:1-30

Job's Answer to Eliphaz Job 6-7 The speech of Eliphaz, which we have already considered, was not the kind of speech to be answered off-handedly. We have been struck by its nobleness and sublimity, its fulness of wisdom; and, indeed, we have not seen any reason, such as Job seems to have seen, for denying to that great speech the merit of sympathy. Why, then, does Job break out into these lamentations? The reason appears to be obvious. We must come upon grief in one of two ways, and Job seems... read more
