L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 28:1-28
EARTH'S MEASURED TREASURES (vv.1-6) Job has spoken of the folly of wicked men. Now he shows that which stands in beautiful contrast to Chapter 27. The language here is magnificent, as Job considers what is altogether objective, not at all continuing any defence of himself in this chapter, but extolling the virtues of wisdom, showing that all creation bears witness to the greatness of the wisdom of God. In thinking of this chapter, we should do well to compare it to Proverbs 8:12-31, where... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 28:1-28
THIRD SERIES OF THE DEBATE 1. With Eliphaz (chaps. 22-24) a. Speech of Eliphaz (chap. 22) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 23-24) 2. With Bildad (chaps. 25-26) a. Speech of Bildad (chap. 25) b. Reply of Job (chap. 26) 3. With Zophar (chaps. 27-31) a. Continuation of the reply of Job (chaps. 27-31) The last speech Eliphaz makes, chapter 22, is a grand effort to refute Job based upon the latter’s appeal to facts. There is more severity in it than he has shown before. He charges Job with cruelty,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 28:1-28
What Is Wisdom? Job 28:0 When Job says "Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it" ( Job 28:1 ), many persons cannot see the connection between this part of the speech and the verses with which the twenty-seventh chapter concludes. The speaker seems to break away entirely from the main current of his discourse and to begin a totally different subject. He does so, however in appearance only and not in reality. The patriarch has been talking about the rich... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 28:1
CONTENTS Job's discourse is still prosecuted through this Chapter. The man of Uz makes many striking observations in the display of the divine glory. Job 28:1 (1) ¶ Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. If I do not greatly mistake, here is much of JESUS in this chapter, and under this idea I would bespeak the Reader's attention with me to be searching for JESUS, as for more than veins of silver or the place of fine gold. And conscious that after all our... read more
