Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 4:12-16

Job 4:12-Nehemiah : . Eliphaz confirms the truth of his doctrine by telling of a vision which he had had. A revelation came upon him like a thief in the night (lit. a word stole upon me). His thoughts were raised to a higher power by the ecstasy of the vision. Job 4:14 f. describes the presence of the supernatural. Job 4:16 tells how the spirit, being of a finer matter, could hardly be perceived by the human eye and ear. “ Stillness and a voice I heard means “ I heard a still voice”... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 4:15

Then, Heb. and, or for, as this particle is oft used. So this was the reason of the foregoing thoughts and fear. A spirit; an angel in some visible shape, otherwise he could not have discerned it, nor would have been affrighted at it. The hair of my flesh, i.e. of my body, as flesh is taken, Genesis 2:24; Psalms 16:9; Psalms 119:120. Stood up, through that excessive horror caused by so glorious, unusual, and terrible a presence; which God used to excite in men upon such occasions, to convince... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 4:16

It stood still; having passed by him to and again he made a stand, as one that had some business with him, and addressed himself to speak to him. I could not discern the form thereof; to wit, exactly and distinctly, so as to know what or who it was. An image was before mine eyes; I saw some corporal or visible resemblance, though in a confused manner. There was silence: the spirit, which possibly had made some noise with his motion, now standing still made no noise; all other persons and things... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 4:1-21

COMMENCEMENT OF THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN JOB AND HIS THREE FRIENDSFirst Course of the Speeches. First Dialogue,—Eliphaz and JobFirst Speech of EliphazEliphaz censures Job for his impatience, and hints at sin as the cause of his suffering. Job 4:1. “Then Eliphaz the Temanite,” &c. First of the three in age and experience. The mildest of Job’s accusers, and superior to the rest in discernment and delicacy. His tone friendly and modest, but pours vinegar rather than oil on Job’s wounds. A wise... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Job 4:13-17

Job 4:13-17 I. Consider the spectre itself and its appearance. (1) It was produced by a likeness of moral state. It was a time of thought. But this does not convey all the idea of the passage. The Hebrew word here used for thought comes from a root signifying the boughs of a tree, and it has been rendered, "in the high places of the forests of thought." The mind was wandering amazed; the labyrinthine way stretched out on every hand; the mind trod the dark pathways. (2) Fear anticipated the... read more

DISCOURSE: 454ELIPHAZ REPROVES JOBJob 4:12-19. Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face: the hair of my flesh stood up: it stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, Shall mortal man be more... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 4:1-21

Chapter 4So Job has made his complaint, and so Eliphaz, his friend who came to comfort him, he said,If we attempt to talk to you, will you be grieved? [But really after what you've said] who can keep silent? [He said,] Behold, you have instructed many people, you have strengthened weak hands. Your words have held up the person who was falling, and you have strengthened feeble knees. But now when it comes to you, you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled ( Job 4:3-5 ).Uh-oh, those are nice... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 4:1-21

Job 4:1 . Eliphaz answered, being the eldest, or the more eloquent. Job 4:3 . Thou hast instructed many. The holy patriarchs were all preachers of righteousness on the sabbath days, &c, He admits that Job, as a preacher, was a son of consolation. Job 4:6 . Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, the uprightness of thy ways, and thy hope? The reading of the Vulgate very much relieves this passage: “Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?” Job... read more

Job 4:1-21Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said. The first colloquyAt this point we pass into the poem proper. It opens with three colloquies between Job and his friends. In form these colloquies closely resemble each other. But while similar in form, in spirit they differ widely. At the outset the friends are content to hint their doubts of Job, their suspicion that he has fallen into some secret and heinous sin, in general and ambiguous terms; but, as the argument rolls on, they are... read more

Job 4:13-17In thoughts from the visions of the night. The spectre’s questionDisguise it how we may, this is a ghost story.I. Attempt to realise the spectre. Recollect that for every one of us spirit has clothed itself with shape and vesture, and that the basis of the whole world in which we live is spiritual. Look at some of the circumstances favourable to such a spectre.1. It was produced by a likeness of moral state. It was a time of thought. The mind was wandering amazed, the labyrinthine... read more
