约伯记 10:8 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 10:8-13

In these verses we may observe, I. How Job eyes God as his Creator and preserver, and describes his dependence upon him as the author and upholder of his being. This is one of the first things we are all concerned to know and consider. 1. That God made us, he, and not our parents, who were only the instruments of his power and providence in our production. He made us, and not we ourselves. His hands have made and fashioned these bodies of ours and every part of them (Job 10:8), and they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 10:8

Thine hands have made me, and fashioned together round about ,.... This and what follow are an illustration of and an enlargement upon, the work of God's hands, made mention of in Job 10:3 ; and suggest reasons why it should not be despised by him, as well as confirm what was just now said, that none could deliver him out of his hands; since his hands had made him, and therefore had such power over him as none else had: and the whole seems designed to move to pity and compassion of him;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 10:8

Thine hands have made me - Thou art well acquainted with human nature, for thou art its author. And fashioned me together round about - All my powers and faculties have been planned and executed by thyself. It is thou who hast refined the materials out of which I have been formed, and modified them into that excellent symmetry and order in which they are now found; so that the union and harmony of the different parts, ( יחד yachad ), and their arrangement and completion, ( סביב ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:1-22

Having answered Bildad, Job proceeds to pour out the bitterness of his soul in a pathetic complaint, which he addresses directly to God. There is not much that is novel in the long expostulation, which mainly goes over ground covered in Job 3:1-26 ; Job 6:1-30 ; Job 7:1-21 ; but some new grounds are alleged as pleas for mercy, if not for justice. These are In conclusion, Job begs for a little respite, a little time of comfort (verse 20), before he descends into the darkness of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:1-22

Appeal to the justice, knowledge, and goodness of God. In his extremity of maddening pain and in his contempt of life, Job resolves to give full way once more to words (verse 1). And as they pour forth in full flood from the bottom of his heart, we perceive that he has in reality truer and juster thoughts about God than those expressed in the preceding chapter. He proceeds to appeal one by one to the highest perfection which can be associated with the Divine Name. I. APPEAL TO THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:8

Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about . Canon Cook observes with much truth, "The processes of nature are always attributed in Scripture to the immediate action of God. The formation of every individual stands, in the language of the Holy Ghost, precisely on the same footing as that of the first man". Yet thou dost destroy me; literally, devour me (comp. Job 9:17 , Job 9:22 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:8

Creation and its consequences. Job appeals to God as his Maker. He remonstrates with the Creator for apparently destroying his own work. If God had first made man, why should God turn on his creature to "swallow him up"? This is not so much an appeal to pity or justice, as one to reason and consistency. I. GOD IS THE CREATOR OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL MAN . Theologians were once divided between two theories of the origin of human souls, called respectively "Creationist" and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:8-12

Here we have an expansion of the plea in Job 10:3 , "Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest despise the work of thine own hands?" Job appeals to God, not only as his Greater, but as, up to a certain time, his Supporter and Sustainer. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:8-12

Man the creature of God. Job now seeks consolation in other courses of reflection, although arising out of the foregoing. He would fain draw what comfort he can from the knowledge of the fact that he is the creature of God. "Thy hands have made me and fashioned me together round about." Thy skill and patience, thy thought and attention, have been bestowed on me. Wilt thou forsake the work of thine hands? Is it solely for this time of trouble thou hast brought me forth? A calm meditation on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:8-17

Job to God: the progress of the third controversy: 2. An inexplicable contradiction. I. GOD 'S FORMER LOVING CARE . 1 . Minutely detailed. 2 . Skilfully employed. As Job recalls the time when he was thus an object of God's paternal solicitude, he cannot help lingering over the sweet memories with which it floods his soul. Setting up, too, these tender reminiscences against the dark background of his present sorrow, he feels melted and softened. The thought of that Divine... read more
