约伯记 27:4 CUVS

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 27:1-23

JOB’S REPLY TO THE FRIENDS IN GENERALJob now alone in the field. Zophar, who should have followed Bildad, and to whom Job had given opportunity to speak, has apparently nothing to say. Job, therefore, after a pause, resumes his discourse, but in a different tone. Speaks more calmly, and even more solemnly. Declares, even with an appeal to the Almighty, that, notwithstanding all he still suffers at the hand of God, and however God seems to treat him as a guilty person, he is resolved, as a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 27:1-23

Chapter 27Job continued his answer and he said, As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, I'll not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me as long as I live ( Job 27:1-6 ).Job has now just had... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 27:1-23

Job 27:1 . Parable, equivalent to a wise, learned and conclusive speech. Job 27:2 . God hath taken away my judgment. The old readings here are preferable. The LXX, God judgeth me thus, or so heavily. Chaldaic, He taketh away the rule of my judgment; that is, he does not judge me according to the manner of men: he makes my case special, and out of the common rule. Job 27:3 . The Spirit of God is in my nostrils. Poole thinks that Job alludes here to Genesis 2:7. If so, Moses must... read more

Job 27:1-10Moreover Job continued his parable. Points in Job’s parableI. A solemn asseveration. “As God liveth.” The words imply a belief--1. In the reality of the Divine existence. Whilst some deny this fact, the bulk of the race practically ignore it.2. In the awfulness of the Divine existence. There is a sublime awfulness in the words, “As God liveth.”3. In the severity of the Divine existence. “Who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty who hath vexed my soul.” As nature has winter... read more

Job 27:3-6Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.Moral courageIt is the aim of all men to secure happiness. As to the course they think best adapted to secure this they differ most widely, and as to what constitutes real happiness the most different opinions are entertained, yet the desire for that which each considers to be happiness is universal. Physical courage is common enough all over the world, but moral courage is a rare phenomenon. Before the fear of being thought foolish,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 27:4

Job 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. Ver. 4. My lips shall not speak wickedness ] Which I should do, should I, contrary to that which the Spirit of God witnesseth to my conscience, through a feigned humility, confess that I have been wicked. Let God’s dejected servants take heed, lest by the temptation of Satan, and the misgivings of their own evil hearts of unbelief, they be drawn to belie the work of God’s Spirit in them, and to hold themselves utterly... read more
