约伯记 5:9-10 CUVS

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 5:8-27

Job 5:8-Daniel : . Eliphaz advises Job to accept the Divine discipline so that God may again show Himself gracious. “ As for me,” instead of being impatient like a fool, “ I would seek unto God” ( cf. Job 1:21, Job 2:10). Job 5:9-Nehemiah : gives the motive for submission, viz. the omnipotence of God, which is also a reason for hope. God’ s power is manifest in nature ( Job 5:10). He also shows it by the restoration of those who abase themselves ( Job 5:11), and equally by crashing the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 5:9

Here Eliphaz enters upon a discourse of the infinite perfection and greatness of God’s nature and works; which he doth partly as an argument to enforce the exhortation to seek and commit his cause to God, Job 5:8, because God was infinitely able, either to punish him yet far worse, if he continued to provoke him, or to raise him from the dust, if he humbly addressed himself to him; and partly that by a true representation of God’s excellency and glory, and of that vast disproportion which was... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 5:10

He beginneth with this ordinary and obvious work of God, in which he implies that there is something unsearchable and wonderful, as indeed there is in the rise of it from the earth, in the strange hanging of that heavy body in the air, and in the distribution of it as God sees fit, Amos 4:7; and how much more in the secret counsels and hidden paths of Divine Providence, which Job took the liberty to censure! Waters; either fountains and rivers, which is another great and wonderful work of God;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 5:1-27

THE FIRST SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ.—CONTINUEDI. Application of the Vision (Job 5:1). “Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints (‘holy ones’—probably angels, as Job 15:15; Daniel 8:13) wilt thou turn?” Job to expect no countenance to his language either from holy men or angels.Learn:—1. Vain for a sinner to appeal against God either to saints or angels. Every angel in heaven will take God’s part against the complaining sinner. Angels already taught the wickedness and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Job 5:8-9

Job 5:8-9 The truth which was here held up before Job is an inspiring one. We have to do with a God who does unsearchably marvellous things, not a few, but many, things, literally numberless. I. Why then do we not expect marvellous things from God? (1) One reason is that we go too much by past experience. We often read our past experience in a most imperfect, careless, and unfair way, forgetting important parts and misinterpreting others. But even though we read it correctly, we should be wrong... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 5:1-27

Call now ( Job 5:1 ),Eliphaz is saying to Job.if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will thou turn? ( Job 5:1 )Now it would seem that maybe in those days there were those who... they had already developed saints that they were turning to in trouble. Which saint do you have for boils, you know?For wrath killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the silly. I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. His children are far from safety, and they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 5:1-27

Job 5:1 . To which of the saints wilt thou turn? Men in anguish look every way for help, but how can either angel or departed spirit of the just help us, without a special command from heaven. Men should therefore bear their afflictions till God relieve them. Job 5:4 . His children are crushed in the gate, when brought before the elders for their wicked deeds. The gate of the city was the ancient bench of justice. Job 5:15 . He saveth the poor from [the threats] of their mouth. Job... read more

Job 5:8-9I would seek unto God.Marvels and prayerNothing could be better than the counsel proffered in the text, nothing more certain than the grounds on which he rests his counsel. To seek unto God, and spread out one’s cause before Him, that must be the best thing to do in any emergency. Does not the wonderful actually take place often in human life? Is it only in the great world that marvels occur, unexpected and great elevations, turnings, unfoldings, light, and help? Is it not mere... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 5:9

Job 5:9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Ver. 9. Which doth great things and unsearchable ] The better to persuade Job to take his counsel, he entereth into a large description of God’s attributes, his power, wisdom, justice, mercy, &c., all which are clearly seen in his works of wonder as in a mirror, or as on a theatre. These he is ever in doing, as the word here signifieth; and showeth himself great in great things, and not little in the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 5:10

Job 5:10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: Ver. 10. Who giveth rain upon the earth ] This is reckoned, and rightly, among the marvellous works of God. See Job 28:26 Jeremiah 10:13 Amo 5:8 Acts 14:17 . Rain is the flux of a moist cloud, which being dissolved by little and little by the heat of the sun, lets down rain by drops out of the middle region of the air: this is God’s gift. For Hebrews 1:1-14 . Decreeth it, Job 28:26 Job 28:2 . .Prepareth it, Psalms... read more
