约伯记 5:15 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 5:6-16

Eliphaz, having touched Job in a very tender part, in mentioning both the loss of his estate and the death of his children as the just punishment of his sin, that he might not drive him to despair, here begins to encourage him, and puts him in a way to make himself easy. Now he very much changes his voice (Gal. 4:20), and speaks in the accents of kindness, as if he would atone for the hard words he had given him. I. He reminds him that no affliction comes by chance, nor is to be attributed to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 5:15

But he saveth the poor ,.... Who are so in a literal sense, and whom the Lord saves with a temporal salvation; these being the butt of the crafty, wise, and cunning, on whom their eyes are, for whom they lay snares, and lie in wait to draw them in; and these being helpless and without friends, God takes notice of them, appears for them, and arises for their help, and saves them: from the sword ; of their enemies, drawn against them and ready to be sheathed in them: from their mouth ;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 5:15

He saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth - This is rather a harsh construction. To avoid this, some have proposed to render מחרב mechereb , which we translate from the sword, the persecuted, but, I am afraid, on very slender authority. Instead of מפיהם מחרב mechereb mippihem , "from the sword, from their mouth," eleven of Kennicott and De Rossi's MSS. read פיהם מחרב mechereb pihem , from the sword of their mouth; and with these MSS. the Chaldee, Vulgate, Syriac, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:1-27

Eliphaz, having narrated his vision, and rehearsed the words which the spirit spoke in his ear, continues in his own person, first ( Job 5:1-7 ) covertly reproaching Job, and then (verses 8-27) seeking to comfort him by the suggestion that, if he will place himself unreservedly in the hands of God, it is still possible that God may relent, remove his chastening hand, deliver him from his troubles, and even give him back all his former prosperity. The anticipation is in remarkable... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:8-16

Eliphaz to Job: 4. The saint's confidence in God. I. THE SAINT 'S CHARACTER DESCRIBED . 1 . Negatively. By way of contrast to the ungodly, who are depicted as 2 . Positively. Exhibiting them as II. THE SAINT 'S GOD EXTOLLED . 1 . As a God of power. 2 . As a God of benevolence. Operating: (a) confounding the crafty,—exploding their schemes, neutralizing their actions, outwitting their cunning, precipitating their purposes, so causing their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:8-16

God the true Refuge in affliction. "I would seek unto God." Wisely did Eliphaz urge his friend to seek refuge in the only true and safe resort. "Under his feathers shalt thou trust." In the midst of all sorrows— "God is the Refuge of his saints, When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid." To seek this Refuge men are encouraged by— I. THE GREATNESS OF THE DIVINE POWER . He "doeth great things and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:8-16

Seeking unto God. As usual, the advice of Eliphaz is excellent in the abstract. The error is in the particular way of applying it to Job. Here is the sting of it. But its general truth is always instructive. This is certainly the case with the recommendation to "seek unto God." I. INQUIRE WHAT IT IS TO SEEK UNTO GOD . 1 . It begins with remoteness from God. We have lost God if we have to seek him, as we need not think of finding what we already possess and enjoy.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:8-27

Refuge from trouble in the thought of God. Conclusion of Eliphaz's address. His language suddenly changes into a gentler strain. It is like the clearing of a dark sky, revealing once more the deep blue; or the bend of a stream which has been flowing through a stern gorge, now broadening out into a sunlit lake. I. THE GREATNESS AND BENEFICENCE OF GOD . ( Job 5:8-16 .) Let men turn to him for comfort and for strength. It is a bright gem of description. 1 . God is the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 5:15

But he sayeth the poor from the sword, from their mouth ; rather, from the sword of their mouth ; i.e. from their cruel and destructive words ( Psalms 57:4 ; Psalms 64:3 ; Proverbs 12:18 ), which cut "like a sharp razor" ( Psalms 52:2 ). By calumny, innuendoes, lies, fraudulent representations, and the like, the ungodly work, perhaps, more injury than by their actions. And from the hand of the mighty . God delivers the poor both from their words and from their deeds. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 5:15

But he saveth the poor from the sword - He shows himself to be the friend and protector of the defenseless. The phrase “from the sword, from their mouth,” has been variously interpreted. Dr. Good renders it,So he saveth the persecutors from their mouth,And the helpless from the hand of the violent.”Noyes,So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth,The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.”This rendering is obtained by changing the points in the word מחרב mēchereb, “from the sword,” to מחרב... read more
