约伯记 6:18 CUVS

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 6:1-30

CHAPTERS 6-7 Job’s Answer 1. His Despair justified by the greatness of his suffering (Job 6:1-7 ) 2. He requests to be cut off (Job 6:8-13 ) 3. He reproacheth his friends (Job 6:14-30 ) 4. The misery of life (Job 7:1-7 ) 5. Two questions: Why does God deal with me thus? Why does He not pardon? (Job 7:8-21 ) Job 6:1-7 . He meets first of all the reproach and accusation of Eliphaz (Job 4:1-5 ). Because his sufferings are so great his utterances are so desperately wild. If Eliphaz only... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 6:1-30

JOB'S REPLY TO ELIPHAZ (vv.1-30) It is remarkable that Job, being in the painful condition he was, was still able to reply in such capable and stirring language to Eliphaz. He knew that Eliphaz had not shown any understanding of Job's predicament, and he again emphasised the unutterable pain and grief that had overtaken him. He knew Eliphaz had not weighed Job's grief accurately, or he would have had more compassion for the poor sufferer (vv.2-3). Job says, "Therefore my words have been... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 6:1-30

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. With Bildad (chaps. 8-10) a. Speech of Bildad (chap. 8) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 9-10) 3. With Zophar (chaps. 11-14) a. Speech of Zophar (chap. 11) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 12-14) It is thought the debate may have occupied several days, by which supposition some of the difficulties of the book are removed. In the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 6:1-30

Job's Answer to Eliphaz Job 6-7 The speech of Eliphaz, which we have already considered, was not the kind of speech to be answered off-handedly. We have been struck by its nobleness and sublimity, its fulness of wisdom; and, indeed, we have not seen any reason, such as Job seems to have seen, for denying to that great speech the merit of sympathy. Why, then, does Job break out into these lamentations? The reason appears to be obvious. We must come upon grief in one of two ways, and Job seems... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 6:14-30

(14) ¶ To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. (15) My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; (16) Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid: (17) What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. (18) The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish. (19) The troops of Tema looked, the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 6:14-30

14-30 In his prosperity Job formed great expectations from his friends, but now was disappointed. This he compares to the failing of brooks in summer. Those who rest their expectations on the creature, will find it fail when it should help them; whereas those who make God their confidence, have help in the time of need, Hebrews 4:16. Those who make gold their hope, sooner or later will be ashamed of it, and of their confidence in it. It is our wisdom to cease from man. Let us put all our... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 6:14-30

Job Criticizes Eliphaz for his Conduct v. 14. To him that is affiliated pity should be showed from his friend, or, to him who is melting on account of the fierceness of his misery, and therefore in despair, gentleness should be shown by his friends; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty, rather, even if he should, or, lest he should, forsake the fear of the Almighty. Friends worthy of the name should stand by one who is in misery and distress, lest he give way entirely to despair and... 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 6:1-30

“A Deceitful Brook” Job 6:1-30 The burden of Job’s complaint is the ill-treatment meted out by his friends. They had accused him of speaking rashly, but they had not measured the greatness of his pain, Job 6:4 , or they would have seen it to be as natural as the braying and lowing of hungry and suffering beasts, Job 6:5 . A man would not take insipid food without complaint; how much more reason had he to complain whose tears were his meat day and night, Job 6:6-7 ! So bitter were his pains... read more
