Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 34:16-30

Elihu here addresses himself more directly to Job. He had spoken to the rest (Job 34:10) as men of understanding; now, speaking to Job; he puts an if upon his understanding: If thou hast understanding, hear this and observe it, Job 34:16. I. Hear this, That God is not to be quarrelled with for any thing that he does. It is daring presumption to arraign and condemn God's proceedings, as Job had done by his discontents. It was, 1. As absurd as it would be to advance one to power that is a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 34:29

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble ?.... Quietness or peace is of God; external peace to bodies of men, to communities, civil and religious, and to particular persons; quietness and contentment in outward enjoyments, peace and safety at home, and from enemies abroad; inward spiritual peace, this is of God, is in Christ, and from him; is the fruit of his righteousness, spoke by his blood, comes through faith in Christ, and is enjoyed in his ordinances, and continues as long... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 34:29

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? - How beautiful is this sentiment, and how true! He ever acts as a sovereign, but his actions are all wise and just. If he give quietness, who dares to give trouble? And if he give to every human being the right to worship himself according to their conscience, for the director of which he gives both his word and his Spirit, who shall dare to say to another, "Thou shalt worship God in my way, or not at all;" or, through a pretended... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 34:1-37

In this chapter Elihu turns from Job to those whom he addresses as "wise men" (verse 2), or "men of understanding" (verse 10). Whether these are Job's three special friends, or others among the company which had perhaps gathered to hear the debate, is uncertain. He makes the subject of his address to them Job's conduct—scarcely a polite thing to do in Job's presence. Job, he says, has scorned God and charged him with injustice (verses 5-9). He will vindicate him. This he proceeds to do in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 34:1-37

Elihu to the bystanders: the case of Job tried. I. THE COURT CONSTITUTED . 1 . The panel . Job, a good man, a great sufferer, sorely calumniated deeply perplexed, involved in doubt and darkness, and guilty of much presumption. 2 . The judges . Either the three friends ironically addressed as "wise men," or the bystanders, among whom were doubtless many possessed of sound wisdom and discretions" wise" and "knowing ones" (verse 2), "men of understanding," literally,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 34:1-37

Elihu's second discourse: man has no right to doubt of God's fustier. I. CENSURE OF JOB 'S DOUBTS . ( Job 34:1-9 .) In silence Job has listened to the reproof of his friend, and has apparently taken to heart the lesson that in justifiable self-defence we may carry our protests beyond the true boundary, and exaggerate our innocence while rejecting false imputations. Elihu therefore rises again, and proceeds with his second reproof. Job has represented God as a cruel, unjust... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 34:29

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? literally, Who then can condemn? The sentiment is the same as that of St. Paul in the Epistle to the Romans, "If God be for us, who can be against us? … Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth?" ( Romans 8:31-34 ). And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? When God hideth away his face, then all flesh is troubled ( Psalms 104:29 ); man shrinks into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 34:29

The peace of God. I. PEACE IS A BLESSING OF THE HIGHEST VALUE . There is a quietness of death; the defeated are stilled; lethargy and inertness are quiet. And there is no blessedness in these things. True peace is alive, watchful, full of power and faculty, yet calm. The peace which our souls crave is inward restfulness. This may be found with much external activity, with much life and thought within also, but without confusion or tumult. The activity is harmonious. It is... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 34:29

When he giveth quietness - That is, when God designs to give rest, comfort, ease, or prosperity in any way to a man. The Hebrew word used here may refer to any kind of ease, rest, or peace. The idea which Elihu intends to convey is, that God has all things under his control, and that he can bring prosperity or adversity upon an individual or a nation at his own pleasure.Who then can make trouble? - literally, “Who can condemn, or hold guilty” - ירשׁע yarâsha‛. The sense is, that no one can... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 34:29-30

Job 34:29-30. When he giveth quietness Either to the poor and oppressed persons last mentioned, or to any other persons or people, as it follows; who then can make trouble? No man or creature can hinder God’s design; and when he hideth his face Withdraws his favour and help from them, and thereby exposes them to oppressions and calamities; who then can behold him? Who can enjoy the light of his countenance, or look up to him with cheerfulness and confidence, to desire or expect his... read more
