约伯记 30:10 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 30:1-14

Here Job makes a very large and sad complaint of the great disgrace he had fallen into, from the height of honour and reputation, which was exceedingly grievous and cutting to such an ingenuous spirit as Job's was. Two things he insists upon as greatly aggravating his affliction:? I. The meanness of the persons that affronted him. As it added much to his honour, in the day of his prosperity, that princes and nobles showed him respect and paid a deference to him, so it added no less to his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 30:10

They abhor me ,.... As it is no wonder they should, since his inward and most intimate friends did, Job 19:19 ; they abhorred him, not for any evil in him; Job was ready enough to abhor that himself, and himself for it, as he did when sensible of it, Job 42:6 ; but for the good that was in him, spoken or done by him; which carried in it a reproof to them they could not bear; see Amos 5:10 ; they abhorred him also because of his present meanness and poverty, and because of his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 30:1-10

The fall from honour to contempt. I. MISFORTUNE BRINGS CONTEMPT , Job has just been reciting the honours of his happier days. With the loss of prosperity has come the loss of those honours. He who was slavishly flattered in wealth and success is cruelly scorned in the time of adversity. This is monstrously unjust, and Job feels it to be so. Nevertheless, it is only true to life. Men do judge by the outward appearance. Therefore any who experience in some proportion what Job experienced... read more

Job's second parable: 2. A lamentation over fallen greatness. I. THE CHARACTER OF JOB 'S DERIDERS . 1 . Juniors in respect of age. (Verse 1.) These were not the young princes of the city ( Job 29:8 ), by whom he had formerly been held in reverential regard, but "the young good-for-nothing vagabonds of a miserable class of men" (Delitzsch) dwelling in the neighbourhood. Job's inferiors in point of years, they should have treated him with honour and respect (Le 19:32),... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 30:1-31

The contrast is now completed. Having drawn the portrait of himself as he was, rich, honoured, blessed with children, flourishing, in favour with both God and man, Job now presents himself to us as he is, despised of men (verses 1-10), afflicted of God (verse 11), a prey to vague terrors (verse 15), tortured with bodily pains (verses 17, 18), cast off by God (verses 19, 20), with nothing but death to look for (verses 23-31). The chapter is the most touching in the whole book. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 30:1-31

The troubles of the present. In contrast to the happy past of honour and respect on which he has been so wistfully dwelling in the previous chapter, Job sees himself now exposed to the scorn and contempt of the meanest of mankind; while a flood of miseries from the hand of God passes over him. From this last chapter we have learned the honour and authority with which it sometimes pleases God to crown the pious and the faithful. From the present we see how at other times he crucifies and puts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 30:1-31

A sorrowful contrast. Job's condition has become one of sorrowfulness, the humiliation of which stands in direct contrast to his former state. He graphically expresses it in a few words: "But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock." The picture of sorrowful humiliation, standing in contrast, to previous honour, wealth, and power, is very striking. It is a typical example, showing to what depths the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 30:10

They abhor me, they flee far from me ; rather, they abhor me , they stoat aloof from me (see the Revised Version). And spare not to spit in my face. This has generally been taken literally, as it seems to have been by the LXX . But it, perhaps, means no more than that they did not refrain from spitting in Job ' s presence . read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 30:10

They abhor me - Hebrew, They regard me as abominable.They flee far from me - Even such an impious and low born race now will have nothing to do with me. They would consider it no honor to be associated with me, but keep as far from me as possible.And spare not to spit in my face - Margin, “withhold not spittle from.” Noyes renders this “Before my face;” and so Luther Wemyss, Umbreit, and Prof. Lee. The Hebrew may mean either to spit in the face, or to spit “in the presence” of anyone. It is... read more
