約伯記 3:5 CUNPTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 3:1-26

VI.THE CRY FROM THE DEPTHJob 3:1-26Job SPEAKSWHILE the friends of Job sat beside him that dreary week of silence, each of them was meditating in his own way the sudden calamities which had brought the prosperous emeer to poverty, the strong man to this extremity of miserable disease. Many thoughts came and were dismissed; but always the question returned, Why these disasters, this shadow of dreadful death? And for very compassion and sorrow each kept secret the answer that came and came again... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 3:1-26

CHAPTER 3 Job’s Lament 1. Job curses the day of his birth (Job 3:1-9 ) 2. He longs for death (Job 3:10-23 ) 3. The reason why (Job 3:24-26 ) Job 3:1-9 . The silence is broken by Job. Alas! his lips do not utter praises now, but he cursed the day of his birth. It was a sore trial for Job to look into the faces of these pious friends, in perfect health and strength, and he, even more pious than they, stricken and smitten of God. It was an aggravation of Job’s grief and sorrow. But let us... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 3:1-26

JOB'S BITTER COMPLAINT (vv.1-26) Though Job would not dare to curse God for his trouble, yet it seems that the presence of his friends only caused a stronger, gradual build-up of bitter distress in the heart of Job, so that eventually the thoughts of his heart broke out in words of painful complaint. WISHING HE HAD NEVER BEEN BORN (vv.1-10) Job did not even now charge God foolishly, but he did curse the day of his birth. This was not directly blaming God, but however little he realised... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 3:1-26

The Trial of Job Job 3:0 Job has made two speeches up to this point Both of them admirable more than admirable, touching a point to which imagination can hardly ascend in its moral sublimity: "Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, and said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord" (Job 1:20 , Job 1:21 .) Mark in how... read more

(1) ¶ After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. (2) And Job spake, and said, (3) Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. (4) Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. (5) Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. (6) As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 3:1-10

1-10 For seven days Job's friends sat by him in silence, without offering consolidation: at the same time Satan assaulted his mind to shake his confidence, and to fill him with hard thoughts of God. The permission seems to have extended to this, as well as to torturing the body. Job was an especial type of Christ, whose inward sufferings, both in the garden and on the cross, were the most dreadful; and arose in a great degree from the assaults of Satan in that hour of darkness. These inward... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 3:1-10

Job Curses the day of His Birth. Up till now Job had suppressed all thoughts of rebellion against God, every notion of dissatisfaction and impatience with the ways of Jehovah. But now he gives evidence of weakness. v. 1. After this opened Job his mouth, in the formal manner, with deliberation and gravity, after the custom of the ancient sages, and cursed his day, namely, the day of his birth. v. 2. And Job spake and said, in a wild and bold outburst, which showed that he was impatient with... read more
