James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 27:1-23

THIRD SERIES OF THE DEBATE 1. With Eliphaz (chaps. 22-24) a. Speech of Eliphaz (chap. 22) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 23-24) 2. With Bildad (chaps. 25-26) a. Speech of Bildad (chap. 25) b. Reply of Job (chap. 26) 3. With Zophar (chaps. 27-31) a. Continuation of the reply of Job (chaps. 27-31) The last speech Eliphaz makes, chapter 22, is a grand effort to refute Job based upon the latter’s appeal to facts. There is more severity in it than he has shown before. He charges Job with cruelty,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 27:1-23

Quiet Resting-places Job 25-27 It is a curious speech with which Bildad winds up the animated colloquy between Job and his three friends. There is a streak of failure across the face of the speech, notwithstanding its dignity. Indeed, the dignity is somewhat against the speech. Bildad is as ignorant of the reality of the case in the peroration as he was in the exordium. If this is all that can be said at the close of such an intellectual and spiritual interview, then some of the parties have... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 27:2-7

(2) As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; (3) All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; (4) My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. (5) God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. (6) My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. (7) ¶ Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 27:1-6

1-6 Job's friends now suffered him to speak, and he proceeded in a grave and useful manner. Job had confidence in the goodness both of his cause and of his God; and cheerfully committed his cause to him. But Job had not due reverence when he spake of God as taking away his judgment, and vexing his soul. To resolve that our hearts shall not reproach us, while we hold fast our integrity, baffles the designs of the evil spirit. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 27:1-10

Job's Again Protests his Innocence v. 1. Moreover, Job continued his parable, his proverbial discourse, and said, v. 2. As God liveth, a solemn oath intended to impress his hearers with the importance of his statements, who hath taken away my judgment, who refused to give Job right in this case, who would not declare him innocent, and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul, filling it with bitter anxiety and sorrow, v. 3. all the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 27:1-23

the Justice of God Job 27:1-23 Zophar ought now to have taken up the discourse, but, as he is silent, Job proceeds. First he renews his protestations of integrity, Job 27:1-10 . He denies the charge of being ungodly, and says that till he dies he will not put away his integrity. He refuses to justify the accusations of his friends, and demands that they who had spoken against him should suffer the punishments which they had suggested as his due, Job 27:7 . The falsity of their charges was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 27:1-23

There would seem to have been a pause after Job's answer to Bildad. The suggestion is that he waited for Zophar, and seeing that Zophar was silent, he took the initiative, and made general reply. This reply opens with a protestation of innocence (1-6). This was his direct answer to the charge made by Eliphaz. Its terms are to be carefully noted. He swore by God, while yet repeating his complaint, that God had taken away his right and vexed his soul. He refused to move from the position he had... read more

Job 27:2-Joshua : . Continuation of Job’ s reply to Bildad. Job 27:1 must be removed as a gloss. Job swears by God that he (in full possession of his powers, Job 27:3) tells the truth ( Job 27:4). God forbid that he should justify the friends ( Job 27:5), i.e. declare them in the right; on the contrary he will maintain his innocence ( Job 27:6). In Job 27:6 b follow mg. read more

I will speak nothing but the truth with all plainness and impartiality, neither defending myself and cause by vain and false professions of those virtues or graces which I know I have not; nor yet, in compliance with your desire and design, falsely accusing myself of those crimes wherewith you charge me, whereof I know myself to be innocent. read more
