ヨブ記 33:6-7 JC

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:1-33

The Speeches of Elihu (continued)1-13. Elihu blames Job for regarding himself as sinless, and complaining that’ God is his enemy and will not answer him.4. Elihu feels that God is inspiring his mind to speak aright. 6. RV ’Behold, I am toward God even as thou art.’ Job need have no fear in facing a man like himself, such as he had felt about God: cp. Job 9:32; Job 13:21. 9. Cp. Job 9:21; RV Job 10:7; Job 16:17; Job 27:4-6. But Elihu exaggerates Job’s protestation of innocence: cp. Job 7:21; Job... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 33:1-33

Job 33:1 Why is it that the just must endure such suffering on earth? The book of Job does not solve this perplexing question. On the contrary, this very book is the Song of Songs of scepticism, and in it the loathsome serpents of doubt writhe and hiss out their everlasting 'why?' How was it that, at the return from Babylon, the pious Commission of the Temple Archives, over which Ezra presided, admitted this book into the canon of the Holy Scriptures? I have often asked myself this question. My... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 33:1-33

XXV.POST-EXILIC WISDOMJob 32:1-22; Job 33:1-33; Job 34:1-37A PERSONAGE hitherto unnamed in the course of the drama now assumes the place of critic and judge between Job and his friends. Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, appears suddenly and as suddenly disappears. The implication is that he has been present during the whole of the colloquies, and that, having patiently waited his time, he expresses the judgment he has slowly formed on arguments to which he has given close... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 33:1-7

CHAPTERS 32--33:7 1. Elihu introduced (Job 32:1-5 ) 2. I waited, but now must speak (Job 32:6-22 ) 3. His address to Job (Job 33:1-7 ) Job 32:1-5 . As Elihu had listened to the different addresses his wrath was stirred up. His name is very suggestive. Elihu means “my God is He”; Barachel--”the Blessed God”; the Buzite, “the rejected One” of Ram, and Ram means “exalted.” These are names which find their fullest application in the person of our Lord, whom Elihu in his mediatorial work... read more

33:6 Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in {b} God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.(b) Because Job had wished to dispute his cause with God, Job 16:21 so that he might do it without fear, Elihu says, he will reason in God’s stead, whom he does not need to fear. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:1-33

HE SPEAKS AS A MEDIATOR (vv.1-7) Elihu did not take any haughty and unfeeling attitude as did Job's three friends, but speaks with simple humility, entreating Job to hear and consider what he says (v.1). He claims that his words come from his heart, uttering pure knowledge (vv.2-3), because he is conscious that the Spirit of God has made him, and the breath (or Spirit) of the Almighty gives him life. If you can answer me, set your words in order before me: take your stand" (v.5). This... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 33:1-33

WORDS OF ELIHU ; WORDS OF GOD Elihu now comes forward with apparent modesty, and yet great pretensions. Young and inexperienced, he is nevertheless indignant at the manner in which the friends of Job have sought to reply to him. Professing that his views have been revealed from above, he undertakes to clear up all the difficulties in the case. Afflictions are for the good of the sufferer is his dictum, a thought which he exhibits in various lights. He, too, reflects upon Job for his... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 33:1-33

The Speech of Elihu. III. Job 33-34 Elihu may show us what conception of God had been formed by a young mind. If we cannot follow the thread of his argument, we can join him here and there, and consider diligently what view of the divine nature and government a mind evidently audacious and energetic, yet reverent and docile, had formed. Elihu does not come before us as necessarily young in years, but as comparatively young; he had kept silence while older men were speaking; he claims... read more
