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 .

Job 27:9-10Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? The privations of godnessnessI. He has no refuge in trouble. When “trouble cometh upon him” he cannot cry unto God with any hope of being heard and answered (Job 27:9). What shall we think of the man who, in the ordering of his life, does not take trouble into his account? He is like the captain who sets sail upon the sea without readiness for a storm, or the general who goes out into the open unprepared to meet the enemy. To be... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 27:9

Job 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? Ver. 9. Will God hear his cry ] Here is another distinctive note between a hypocrite and an honest man. As many are said in Daniel to cleave to the better side by flattery, so many false signs will come in, and flatter a man (when he is in health and prosperity), and give their testimony, speak the same thing that true evidences do; but this will not always hold. When trouble cometh upon him? ] Then the hypocrite will cry, and make... read more

No, this is Christianorum propria virtus, a practice that none can skill of but God’s people, saith Jerome, to rejoice in tribulation, and then to continue instant in prayer, Romans 12:12 , for deliverance, with some confidence grounded upon former experience.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 27:12

Job 27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain? Ver. 12.
