FIRST SERIES OF THE DEBATE The first series of the debate may be outlined as follows: 1. With Eliphaz (chaps. 4-7) a. Speech of Eliphaz (chaps. 4-5) b. Reply of (chaps. 6-7) 2.

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 14:1-22

Job's Reply to His Three Friends. V. Job 12-14 Now that the case in some measure of completeness is before us, we may profitably consider the history on a larger scale than its merely personal aspect. We have elements enough, in these fourteen chapters, for the construction of a world. We have the good man; the spirit of evil; the whole story of affliction and loss, pain and fear; and we have three comforters, coming from various points, with hardly various messages to be addressed to a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 14:16-22

(16) ¶ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? (17) My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. (18) And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. (19) The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. (20) Thou prevailest forever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 14:16-22

16-22 Job's faith and hope spake, and grace appeared to revive; but depravity again prevailed. He represents God as carrying matters to extremity against him. The Lord must prevail against all who contend with him. God may send disease and pain, we may lose all comfort in those near and dear to us, every hope of earthly happiness may be destroyed, but God will receive the believer into realms of eternal happiness. But what a change awaits the prosperous unbeliever! How will he answer when God... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 14:13-22

A Prayer to be Delivered from his Affliction v. 13. Oh, that Thou wouldest hide me in the grave, secure in the realm of the dead, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, safely hidden, until Thy wrath be past, change once more into kindness, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time and remember me! Job pleaded to be remembered in mercy, to be reestablished in God's grace. But for him, the reality differs much from this wish. v. 14. If a man die, shall he live again? It is the voice of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Job 14:1-22

B.—Job’s Reply: Attack upon his friends, whose wisdom and justice he earnestly questions:Job 12-141. Ridicule of the assumed wisdom of the friends, who can give only a very unsatisfactory de scription of the exalted power and wisdom of the Divine activity:Job 12:01 And Job answered and said,2 No doubt but ye are the people,and wisdom shall die with you.3 But I have understanding as well as you;I am not inferior to you;yea, who knoweth not such things as these?4 I am as one... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 14:1-22

Shall Man Live Again? Job 14:1-22 Continuing his appeal, Job looks from his own case to the condition of mankind generally, Job 14:1-6 . All men are frail and full of trouble, Job 14:12 ; why should God bring a creature so weak into judgment with Him? Job 14:3 . The sinfulness of man is universal-not one can be proved clean before God, Job 14:4 . Since man is so frail Job pleads that he may not have such unwonted affliction, but may get some pleasure, Job 14:6 , r.v., out of his brief day. ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 14:1-22

Taking a more general outlook, Job declared that man's life is ever transitory, and full of trouble. This should be a reason why God should pity him, and let him work out the brief period of its duration in quietness (1-6). Naturally, following this, he spoke of what the end of a man's doing is, showing the endlessness thereof. There is hope for a bee that it will bud again, but there is none for a man (7-12). This dark assertion seems to have created in the mind of Job a question of wondering... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 14:16-22

Job 14:16-Song of Solomon : turns to the contrast of Job’ s present misery and hopeless end. Now God watches Job ( Job 14:16). God writes down his sins, and seals up the indictments in a bag ( Job 14:17). The mountains perish and the stones are worn away: so God destroys man’ s hope, and the man himself ( Job 14:18-Proverbs :). He is sunk in Sheol where he neither knows nor cares for the concerns of his family ( Job 14:21). “ Only his flesh upon him hath pain and his soul within him mourneth”... read more
