Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 13:1-12

1-12 With self-preference, Job declared that he needed not to be taught by them. Those who dispute are tempted to magnify themselves, and lower their brethren, more than is fit. When dismayed or distressed with the fear of wrath, the force of temptation, or the weight of affliction, we should apply to the Physician of our souls, who never rejects any, never prescribes amiss, and never leaves any case uncured. To Him we may speak at all times. To broken hearts and wounded consciences, all... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 13:1-12

Job Defends God Against the Suspicion of Arbitrariness v. 1. Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it, gotten the knowledge for itself, namely, concerning all that had been set forth in the last chapter regarding the wisdom and omnipotence of God. v. 2. What ye know, the same do I know also; I am not inferior unto you; Job in no way stood behind or beneath his friends in the proper understanding of the Lord's attributes, 12:3. v. 3. Surely I would speak to the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Job 13:1-28

B.—Job’s Reply: Attack upon his friends, whose wisdom and justice he earnestly questions:Job 12-141. Ridicule of the assumed wisdom of the friends, who can give only a very unsatisfactory de scription of the exalted power and wisdom of the Divine activity:Job 12:01 And Job answered and said,2 No doubt but ye are the people,and wisdom shall die with you.3 But I have understanding as well as you;I am not inferior to you;yea, who knoweth not such things as these?4 I am as one... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 13:1-28

“Though He Slay Me” Job 13:1-28 The sufferer first rebukes his friends, Job 13:4-12 . Then he makes an appeal to God, affirming that he was no hypocrite, and asking that his sins, for which he was suffering, might be set down, Job 13:23 . When Job said that he knew himself to be righteous, he was clearly speaking of known sin; he knew, so far as a man may know himself, that he had not committed the sins of which his friends charged him. He could bare his life to the inspection of men and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 13:1-28

Continuing his answer, Job restated his conviction that his knowledge was not inferior to theirs, and declared that his appeal was to God (1-3). Before making this appeal there is an introductory passage in which he first addressed himself to them in terms of anger (4-12), and then avowed his determination to make his appeal directly to God, and urged two conditions. His contempt for his friends as they are revealed in their attitude toward him knows no bounds. He described them as "forgers of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 13:1-12

Job 13:1-2 Kings : . Job has shown that he can speak of God’ s working in the world; the friends, however, offer an apology for God, which He Himself must reject. “ I am not inferior to you in knowledge,” says Job ( Job 13:2). “ But I would speak and reason with God— this you do not understand” ( Job 13:3). The friends had failed to diagnose his case ( Job 13:4); his want is a fresh Divine revelation. They are “ plasterers of lies” in their zeal for God. Their best wisdom were silence ( Job... read more

Your remembrances; either, 1. Actively, i.e. your memorials, or your discourses and arguments, by which you design to bring things to my remembrance. So he might possibly allude to that passage, Job 4:7. Remember, I pray thee, &c. That and all your other mementos are like unto ashes, i.e. contemptible and unprofitable, Heb. are parables, or speeches, of dust, or ashes. Or, 2. Passively; all that which is most excellent and memorable in you, your wealth, and dignity, and wit, and reputation,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 13:1-28

JOB’S REPLY TO ZOPHAR—CONTINUEDI. Job re-asserts his knowledge of the Divine procedure as not inferior to that of his friends (Job 13:1-2).“Lo, mine eye,” &c. Right in certain circumstances to maintain one’s own knowledge, but without vain glory (2 Corinthians 11:6; Ephesians 3:4). Three things suggested in the words of Job as necessary to theAcquisition of knowledge1. Observation. “Mine eye hath seen all this.” Important to make a right use of one’s eyes.
