约伯记 30:23 CUVS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 30:1-31

Changes of Fortune Job 30:0 Job has been comparing his past and his present from a personal and social point of view. Hear his words in the twenty-ninth chapter, "The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up. The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth" ( Job 30:8-10 ). That was the past condition of affairs in Job's social circle. He was chief, king, dominant... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 30:19-31

(19) He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. (20) I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. (21) Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. (22) Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. (23) For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. (24) Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 30:15-31

15-31 Job complains a great deal. Harbouring hard thoughts of God was the sin which did, at this time, most easily beset Job. When inward temptations join with outward calamities, the soul is hurried as in a tempest, and is filled with confusion. But woe be to those who really have God for an enemy! Compared with the awful state of ungodly men, what are all outward, or even inward temporal afflictions? There is something with which Job comforts himself, yet it is but a little. He foresees that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 30:16-31

The Unspeakable Misery and Disappointment with which Job Battled v. 16. And now my soul is poured out upon me, dissolved in suffering and anguish ; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me, he was in the strong clutches of suffering and found himself unable to shake them off. v. 17. My bones are pierced in me in the night season, the restless night itself, which increases the pains of every affliction, pierces his bones from his body; and my sinews take no rest, literally, "my gnawers,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 30:1-31

Immediately Job passed to the description of his present condition, which is all the more startling as it stands in contrast with what he had said concerning the past. He first described the base who now held him in contempt. In the old days the highest reverenced him. Now the very lowest and basest held him in derision, Now I am become their song. They chase mine honour as the wind. But yesterday the word of Caesar might Have stood against the world; now lies he there, And none so poor to... read more

THE HOUSE APPOINTED FOR ALL LIVING‘For I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.’ Job 30:23 I. The reflections suggested.—( a) Death and the grave are the lot of all. ( b) Each of us should think of his individual liability—‘I know that Thou wilt bring me.’ ( c) The hand of God is to be owned—‘ Thou wilt bring me to death.’ ( d) The certainty of all this, ‘I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.’ II. The... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 30:1-31

Job 30. Job’ s Present Misery.— As the text stands at present, Job begins by complaining that the very abjects of society now despise him. Many scholars, however, detach Job 30:2-Ruth : as a misplaced section of the description of the outcasts, which we have already met in Job 24:5 f. “ When we look at the passage apart from Job 30:1, the impression it makes is not one of contempt for their abject condition, but of pity for their misery. Hence the greater part would have been better suited to... read more
