約伯記 7:13 RCUVTS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 7:11-21

(11) Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. (12) Amos I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? (13) When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; (14) Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: (15) So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. (16) I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 7:7-16

7-16 Plain truths as to the shortness and vanity of man's life, and the certainty of death, do us good, when we think and speak of them with application to ourselves. Dying is done but once, and therefore it had need be well done. An error here is past retrieve. Other clouds arise, but the same cloud never returns: so a new generation of men is raised up, but the former generation vanishes away. Glorified saints shall return no more to the cares and sorrows of their houses; nor condemned... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 7:9-21

Job Arraigns God v. 9. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, the vapor disappearing in the dry air of the wilderness, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more, if he is once in the realm of the dead, he cannot return to the former life on earth. v. 10. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place, his home, know him any more, this earthly life is past forever, so far as he is concerned. v. 11. Therefore, since God had practically abandoned him to... read more

B.—Job’s Reply: Instead of Comfort, the Friends bring him only increased SorrowJob 6:1 to Job 7:211. Justification of his complaint by pointing out the greatness and incomprehensibleness of his sufferingJob 6:1-101 But Job answered and said:2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed,and my calamity laid in the balance together!3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea;therefore my words are swallowed up.4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,the poison... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 7:1-21

Longing for the Evening Job 7:1-21 The servant eagerly longs for the lengthening shadow, which tells him that his day of labor is at an end, and we may allow ourselves to anticipate the hour of our reward and deliverance. In plaintive words, which have so often been on the lips of heavy sufferers, Job tells the story of his sorrow and bitterness. The sufferer addresses God directly-almost suggesting at first that God was persecuting him without cause. Let those who have been disposed to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 7:1-21

Without waiting for their reply, Job broke out into a new lamentation, more bitter than the first, for it came out of a heart whose sorrow was aggravated by the misunderstanding of friends. Indeed, its very strength was a new protest against the only open charge Eliphaz had made, namely, of sin and foolishness in complaining at all. In this lamentation there are two movements: first, a great complaint concerning the stress and misery of life (1- l0), and, second, a complaint directed against... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 7:11-21

Job 7:11-Ecclesiastes : . Job again gives utterance to his complaint. In the previous passage Job’ s tone, as in Job 3:11-Psalms :, had become quieter, and his complaint almost an elegy on human misery. But now he bursts forth again with the utmost violence of expression, and now, as he had not ventured to do in Job 3, directly attacks God. He will not refrain. Though God destroy him, he will speak ( Job 7:11). He asks if he is the sea, fretting against the earth with its turbulent waves, or... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 7:1-21

CONTINUATION OF JOB’S SPEECHJob ceases to altercate with Eliphaz and to defend himself. Resumes his complaints, and ends by addressing himself to God.I. Complains of the general lot of humanity (Job 7:1)“Is there not an appointed time (margin, a warfare,’ or war-service) to man (properly, to wretched man, Heb., ‘Enosh,’—man viewed as fallen, and therefore miserable) upon earth? Are not his days also as the days of an hireling?” Wishes to show—(1) His desire for death excusable; (2) Suffering... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 7:1-21

Chapter 7Is there not an appointed time to man upon the earth? are not his days also like the days of a hireling? As a servant earnestly desires the shadow ( Job 7:1-2 ),That is, the shadow of the clock going down so that the shadow disappears. The servant waits for that because he has rest in the evening.and as the hireling looks for the reward of his work: So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. When I lie down, I say, When will I arise, and when... read more
