Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 19:1-29

As an everlasting monument of his faith in the resurrection.—MAYER. Such as would come within the inscription on a rock; therefore, those contained in Job 19:25-27.—SCOTT.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 19:1-29

Chapter 19Then Job answered and said, How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with your words? These ten times you have reproached me: and you're not ashamed that you made yourself like a stranger to me. And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: Know now that God hath overthrown me, encompassed me in his net ( Job 19:1-6 ).Now this is the thing that upsets them, that he is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 19:1-29

Job 19:3 . These ten times have ye reproached me. A form of speech which puts a certain number for one less certain. Job had no doubt noticed about ten principal arguments levelled against him.

His troops came against me; the Sabeans and Chaldeans, to take away my cattle, as in chap. 1. He sent them to strip me of my patriarchal... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 19:11

Job 19:11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as [one of] his enemies. Ver. 11. He hath also kindled his wrath against me ] Now if his wrath was kindled, yea, but a little, woe be to all those against whom it is bent. He will surely heap mischiefs upon them, he will spend his arrows upon them, Deu 32:22-23 Psalms 2:12 . Job felt them striking in the sides of his soul, even the envenomed arrows of the Almighty; and yet this was only a refiner’s fire, Malachi... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:6-20

First division NONE OTHER THAN GOD COULD BE THE AUTHOR OF SUCH CALAMITIES AS THOSE THAT HAVE BEFALLEN Job , vv6-20. First strophe Job admits that it is impossible that a calamity bearing such marks of design (comp. Job 19:6 with Job 18:8-10) one, too, so complete and overwhelming should have proceeded from any other than God, who consistently turns a deaf ear to his solemn appeals, Job 19:6-12. Satan so contrived the misfortunes, and especially the disease, of Job, as to convince him that... read more
