Job 19:7

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 19:1-29

XVI."MY REDEEMER LIVETH"Job 19:1-29Job SPEAKSWITH simple strong art sustained by exuberant eloquence the author has now thrown his hero upon our sympathies, blending a strain of expectancy with tender emotion. In shame and pain, sick almost to death, baffled in his attempts to overcome the seeming indifference of Heaven, the sufferer lies broken and dejected. Bildad’s last address describing the fate of the godless man has been deliberately planned to strike at Job under cover of a general... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 19:1-29

CHAPTER 19 Job’s Reply to Bildad 1. How long will ye vex my soul? (Job 19:1-6 ) 2. And I am not heard! (Job 19:7-12 ) 3. Forsaken of men he pleads to be pitied (Job 19:13-24 ) 4. Faith supreme (Job 19:25-27 ) 5. The warning to his friends (Job 19:28-29 ) Job 19:1-6 . Bildad’s scathing speech did not bring Job into the dust. He acknowledges the words vexed his soul and broke him in pieces, but he does not change his viewpoint. He repudiates the guilt with which they charged him and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:1-29

JOB'S REPLY TO BILDAD (vv.1-6). Though Job did not lose his temper at the unjust accusations of Bildad, he shows here that the reproaches of his friends have struck deeply into his soul. "How long will you torment my soul, and break me in pieces with words?" (v.2). He is appealing to the fact that the best he can say of their words is that they are unfair. Ten times they had reproached him. Should they not be ashamed that they had actually wronged him? They had accused him of evil without... read more

Joseph Parker

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 19:3-7

(3) These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. (4) And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. (5) If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: (6) Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. (7) Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. By ten times Job seems to have meant, their speaking was doubled by... 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 19:6-22

Job Complains of the Neglect he Suffers v. 6. Know now that God hath overthrown me, wresting him, treating him without proper regard for the justness of tile case, and hath compassed me with His net, like a wild beast which is so wound up in the meshes of the hunter's net that it cannot move. v. 7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, crying out in complaint over the violence which he was experiencing, but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment, God will not vindicate his just cause,... read more
