Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 36:13

13-15. Same sentiment as Job 36:11; Job 36:12, expanded. hypocrites—or, the ungodly [MAURER]; but "hypocrites" is perhaps a distinct class from the openly wicked (Job 36:12). heap up wrath—of God against themselves (Romans 2:5). UMBREIT translates, "nourish their wrath against God," instead of "crying" unto Him. This suits well the parallelism and the Hebrew.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 36:17

17. Rather, "But if thou art fulfilled (that is, entirely filled) with the judgment of the wicked (that is, the guilt incurring judgment" [MAURER]; or rather, as UMBREIT, referring to Job 34:5-7; Job 34:36, the judgment pronounced on God by the guilty in misfortunes), judgment (God's judgment on the wicked, Job 34:36- :, playing on the double meaning of "judgment") and justice shall closely follow each other [UMBREIT]. read more
