Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 30:1-31

THE CONTRAST.—JOB’S SOLILOQUY, CONTINUEDWith his former state of happiness and honour Job now contrasts his present misery and degradation. His object as well to show the grounds he has for complaint as to ease his burdened spirit. Probably now sitting in the open air, near his own residence, outside the city. Still among the ashes, and covered from head to foot with the worst form of leprosy. Abandoned by his wife and domestics, and viewed by his pious visitors as suffering the penalty of past... read more

DISCOURSE: 480THE CERTAINTY OF DEATHJob 30:23. I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.WE cannot certainly know the ultimate intentions of Providence from any thing we either see or feel. A man to whom God has given a robust constitution, cannot therefore be sure that he shall attain to old age: nor can a man that is bowed down with complicated diseases, be certain that his health shall not be restored. Presumption too often attends the former state,... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Job 30:23

Concerning Death September 26 th , 1886 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) “For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.” --Job 30:23 Job suffered from a terrible sickness, which filled him with pain both day and night. It is supposed that, in addition to his grievous eruptions upon the skin, he endured great difficulty in breathing. He says in the eighteenth verse, “By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 30:1-31

Chapter 30But now, chapter 30, he tells of the present condition. And just as glorious as was the past, so depressing is the present.But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock. Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished? For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste: Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 30:1-31

Job 30:1 . The dogs of my flock. Job does not say this through pride, for he owns that the slave and himself were formed by the same hand: Job 31:15. He says it rather with a view to describe the sin and the folly of the untutored race. Job 30:4 . Who cut up mallows and juniper-roots for their meat. The rabbins are irrelevant here. Calmet is silent, and Schultens with all his Arabic is uncertain. But the monkeys in South Africa, when the leaves are decayed, will often guide the hungry... read more

Job 30:23To the house appointed for all living.The house appointed for all livingWhat were the definite grounds on which Job formed this conclusion?1. What he saw around him on every side.2. Job’s bodily sufferings intimated also the same result. These increased and accumulated, and plainly tended, unless arrested, in the providence of God, to dissolution.3. Creation around him impressed on him the same conclusion.4. Job learned the lesson from Divine teaching. Learn who is the dispenser of... read more

Job 30:23 For I know [that] thou wilt bring me [to] death, and [to] the house appointed for all living. Ver. 23. For I know that thou wilt bring me to death ] Such hard thoughts had Job of God, and such heavy thoughts of himself. Nam experior, mors avocat me so Tremellius: For I feel it, death calleth me away.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Job 30:23

For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.House appointed — The grave is a narrow, dark, cold house, but there we shall rest and be safe. It is our home, for it is our mother's lap, and in it we are gathered to our fathers. It is an house appointed for us, by him that has appointed the bounds of all our habitations. And it is appointed for all living. It is the common receptacle for rich and poor: we must all be brought thither, and that shortly. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 30:23

23. Appointed מועד , according to Dr. Clarke and most moderns, means assembly; here with beth, the house of assembly, the involuntary rendezvous of all of woman born. Comp. Job 3:18-19. The idea of a gathering of the dead “to the fathers,” or “to their people,” appears frequently in the oldest of the Scriptures. Note on Job 27:19. “All such language must have come from some idea of death, or sheol, being a place of waiting for something to come after it.” T. Lewis. See Excursus... read more
