욥기 7:5 KRV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 7:5-6

Job 7:5-6. My flesh is clothed with worms Which were bred out of his corrupted flesh and sores, and which, it seems, covered him all over like a garment. And clods of dust The dust of the earth on which he lay. My skin is broken By ulcers breaking out in all parts of it. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle Which passes in a moment from one side of the web to the other. So the time of my life hastens to a period; and therefore vain are those hopes which you would give me of a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 7:1-21

Job’s reply to Eliphaz (6:1-7:21)Eliphaz had rebuked Job for his impatient outburst. In reply Job acknowledges that God is the one who has sent this affliction, but he points out that if Eliphaz knew how great this suffering was he would understand why Job spoke rashly (6:1-4). An animal cries out only with good reason (for example, if it is hungry for food). Job likewise cries out only with good reason. His tormenting thoughts and Eliphaz’s useless words are to him like food that makes him... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 7:5

Job 7:5. My flesh is clothed with worms, &c.— My flesh is clothed with worms, and with the filth of dust: my skin is broken and putrifies. Houbigant. Heath renders it, The worm covereth my flesh, and filthy mud my skin; suddenly it will turn even to putrefaction. See ch. Job 19:26. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 7:5

5. In elephantiasis maggots are bred in the sores (Acts 12:23; Isaiah 14:11). clods of dust—rather, a crust of dried filth and accumulated corruption (Job 2:7; Job 2:8). my skin is broken and . . . loathsome—rather, comes together so as to heal up, and again breaks out with running matter [GESENIUS]. More simply the Hebrew is, "My skin rests (for a time) and (again) melts away" (Job 2:8- :). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 7:1-6

Job’s miserable suffering 7:1-6"The rest of Job’s speech is more like a soliloquy which turns into a remonstration against God Himself. His theme is once more the hard service that men have upon earth." [Note: Andersen, p. 134.] "That Job speaks realistically about his pains here, in contrast to the unrealistic wish never to have been born that he uttered in his curse-lament (ch. 3), means that he is beginning to cope with his real situation." [Note: Hartley, p. 142.] In this complaint (cf. ch.... read more

2. Job’s first reply to Eliphaz chs. 6-7Job began not with a direct reply to Eliphaz but with another complaint about his condition. Then he responded to Eliphaz’s speech but addressed all three of his friends. The "you" and "yours" in Job 6:24-30 are plural in the Hebrew text. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 7:1-21

Job’s First Speech (concluded)1-10. Job laments the hardship and misery of his destiny.1. Man’s life is a lot of hardship. Appointed time] RM ’time of service.’2, 3. As the labourer longs for the weary day to end and to receive his wages, so Job bemoans the length of his sufferings and sighs for death to end them. 3. Months of vanity] so called because they were unsatisfactory, hopeless. ’Months’ imply that Job’s sufferings had lasted a considerable time. 5. Worms] from the diseased flesh.... read more

Job 7:6 ; Job 7:9 Having gazed, in their brief fate, on a life that is no life at all, they disappear like a vapour, convinced alone of what each hath met in his whirling to and fro in all directions. Empedocles. Job 7:7 Although we have some experience of living, there is not a man on earth who has flown so high into abstraction as to have any practical guess at the meaning of the word life. All literature, from Job and Omar Khayyam to Thomas Carlyle or Walt Whitman, is but an attempt to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 7:1-21

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
