Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 14:22

This is man’s condition; he is miserable both when he dies, because he dies without hope of returning to life, as he had discoursed before; and (as he now adds) whilst he lives, whilst his flesh is upon him, and his soul within him; whilst the soul is clothed with or united to the body, he feels sharp pain in his body, and bitter grief in his soul. Seeing therefore the state of man upon earth is so vain and unhappy every way, Lord, give me some comfort to sweeten my life, or take away my life... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 14:1-22

CONTINUATION OF JOB’S PLEADING WITH GODI. Pleads the common infirmity of human nature (Job 14:1-4).Man, from the very nature of his birth, frail and mortal, suffering and sinful. “Born of a woman.” Allusion to the sentence pronounced on Eve after the fall (Genesis 3:16), “I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children.” Like parent, like child. Such a birth a plea with the Almighty for lenience and forbearance. Three evils resulting to humanity... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 14:1-22

Chapter 14Man that is born of a woman is of few days, he's full of trouble. He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow [or the shadow on the sundial], and continues not ( Job 14:1-2 )Oh, what a pessimistic kind of view of life. "Man that is born of a woman is of a few days and full of troubles." Cheer up. It will soon be over. You're of few days but it's full of trouble. "Like a flower you blossom out but then you're cut down. Like the declining shadow on the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 14:1-22

Job 14:4 . Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Then seeing we are all stained with original and actual sin, why should Zophar, without the least proof, almost say that Job’s afflictions were the visitations of sins which exceeded the strokes? Presumptions which inflict the deepest wounds, are sins which provoke the Lord. Job 14:5 . His days are determined. Two things are to be noted here, that the death of man is determined because of sin, and that his days and months are... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 14:22

Job 14:22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. Physical sensation after deathWas it not the opinion of the ancient Jews that the soul retained somewhat of the sensation of the flesh until the body had entirely dissolved? It would not be strange if such were the fact, considering the proximity of the Jews to the Egyptians; since the Egyptians held the notion that the continuance of the soul’s existence depended upon the preservation of the bodily organism,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 14:22

Job 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. Ver. 22. But his flesh upon him shall have pain ] That is, say some, but as long as he is living his body is afflicted with a thousand evils; and though his soul, by the condition of her creation, be exempt from them, yet she bears a part in them, and becomes miserable with it. A dying man hath sorrow without and sorrow within; the whole man is in misery, as Job here felt himself. Others hold that this... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 14:22

22. Upon him and within him are the same, ( עליו ,) and signify either “on his own account,” or better, in him. “He no longer knows and perceives the things of the upper world, he is henceforth conscious only of his pain and sorrow.” Dillmann. The repetition of in him is significant; as much as to say, flesh and soul are equally essential to the identity of the man. In the intimation that man’s condition in sheol is by no means one of abstract personality, we have the germ of the... read more
