The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 19:1-29

Job's Reply to the Second Speech of Bildad Job 19:0 The patriarch touched the reality of the case when he described the speeches which had been addressed to him as "words," saying, "How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?" (Job 19:2 .) Words are different in their meaning according to the difference of the tone in which they are uttered. Every speaker should be heard in his own personality, and hardly any one who has not heard him should be entrusted with the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 19:1-2

(1) ¶ Then Job answered and said, (2) How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? Job's account of being broken in pieces with hard words, serves to lead the mind to the recollection of JESUS. Psalms 109:1-3 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:1-7

1-7 Job's friends blamed him as a wicked man, because he was so afflicted; here he describes their unkindness, showing that what they condemned was capable of excuse. Harsh language from friends, greatly adds to the weight of afflictions: yet it is best not to lay it to heart, lest we harbour resentment. Rather let us look to Him who endured the contradiction of sinners against himself, and was treated with far more cruelty than Job was, or we can be. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 19:1-5

Job Reproaches his Friends for their Suspicions v. 1. Then Job answered and said, v. 2. How long will ye vex my soul, torturing his mind with their accusations and insinuations, and break me in pieces, crushing him to the point of annihilation, with words? v. 3. These ten times, that is, very often, again and again, have ye reproached me, in attacking his innocence; ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me, stunning him without shame, trying to overwhelm him and render... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 19:1-29

“I Know That My Redeemer Liveth” Job 19:1-29 In Job’s melancholy condition his friends seemed only to add vexation and trial. The hirelings who sojourned in his household looked on him with disdain; his kith and kin were alienated; it seemed as if the Almighty had an antipathy against him. So great was his physical suffering that the only sound part of his body seemed to be the skin of his gums and his teeth, Job 19:20 (that is, all he could do was to speak). Then he suddenly breaks into the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 19:1-29

To this terrible accusation Job replied first with a rebuke and a complaint. He demanded how long they would vex him, and declared that if he had erred, his sin was his own. If they would continue, let them know that all his suffering was God's doing. He then passed into a most terrible description of his condition. He cried for help, but had no answer from on high. As he found no answer in judgment from God, so he received no answer in pity from men. It is out of the depth of this darkness... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:1-29

Job 19. Job’ s Answer.— Here the gradual progress of Job’ s soul towards faith reaches its climax ( Job 19:25 f.). It is to be remembered that Job’ s problem is in reality twofold: it has a personal side, the problem of his individual relation to God, but also a more general aspect, the problem of the Divine providence. In this chapter we read the solution of the first half on the basis of a great venture of faith; the second half is really never fully solved. Job 19:1-Joshua : . Job... read more
