约伯记 27:5 CUVS

Geneva Study Bible - Job 27:5

27:5 God forbid that I should {c} justify you: till I die I will not remove mine {d} integrity from me.(c) Which condemns me as a wicked man, because the hand of God is on me.(d) I will not confess that God does thus punish me for my sins. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 27:1-23

HOLDING FAST HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS (vv.1-7) In Chapter 26 Job answered Bildad fully. Bildad's last argument was very brief, and after this Zophar had nothing at all to say. Job has already won the debate, though he fully, admits that he has not found the relief he is seeking. Now he spends five chapters in his self-defence, which will get him nowhere as regards the answer to his distressing condition, for his comparatively righteous life had nothing to do with the answer to his questions. He... read more

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

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Job 27:5

Till. Never will I abandon this path, (Haydock) nor will I yield to your reasons, (Calmet) or cease to defend myself. (Menochius) --- It would have been contrary to justice and charity, (Haydock) as well as to truth, to confess a false crime. (Worthington) 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

III. Job alone: His closing address to the vanquished friends. Chap. 27—28a. Renewed asseveration of his innocence, accompanied by a reference to his joy inGod, which had not forsaken him even in the midst of his deepest misery Job 27:1-101 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said: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... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
