约伯记 6:23 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 6:22-30

Poor Job goes on here to upbraid his friends with their unkindness and the hard usage they gave him. He here appeals to themselves concerning several things which tended both to justify him and to condemn them. If they would but think impartially, and speak as they thought, they could not but own, I. That, though he was necessitous, yet he was not craving, nor burdensome to his friends. Those that are so, whose troubles serve them to beg by, are commonly less pitied than the silent poor. Job... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 6:23

Or, deliver me from the enemies' hand ?.... Or, "out of the hand of straitness" F3 מיד צר "e manu tribulatoris, vel tribulationis", Vatablus. ; out of tribulation and difficulties with which he was pressed on every side: or redeem me from the hand of the mighty ? fetch back his cattle out of the hands of the Sabeans and Chaldeans, either by force of arms, as Abraham brought back Lot, and all his goods, when taken and carried away by the four king's, or by giving a ransom price... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 6:14-30

Job to Eliphaz: 2. Reproofs and retorts. I. UNKINDNESS REPROVED . The behaviour of Eliphaz (and his friends) was: 1 . Unnatural. Compassion for a suffering fellow-creature, much more for a friend, was a dictate of humanity (verse 14). The condition of Job pre-eminently claimed pitiful consideration. He was not only melting away, bodily and mentally, but spiritually he was in danger of "forsaking the fear of the Almighty," i.e. losing his hold on God, on God's love and favour... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 6:22-27

Friendship: its rights and its disclaimers. In his agonized yearning for sympathy and tenderness, Job further appeals to the conscience and memory of his friends, seeking to put an end to this lacerating contention, and to be reconciled to them in peace. I. DISCLAIMERS . True friendship disclaims the right to be exacting. We have no right to lay a tax on the property, or time, or energy of those whom we desire to grapple to us as with hooks of steel. All must be spontaneous, voluntary,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 6:23

Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? rather, from the hand of the violent man. Or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? literally, of the oppressor (see the Revised Version). Job had not called on his friends to do any of these things. He had not worn out their patience by asking now for this, and now for that. But he had expected their compassion, and this was denied him. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 6:23

Or, Deliver me out of the enemy’s hand? - At no time have I called on you to rescue me from a foe.Or, Redeem me? - That is, rescue me from the hand of robbers. The meaning is, that he was in no way beholden to them; he had never called on them for assistance; and there was therefore no claim which they could now have to afflict him further by their reflections. There seems to be something peevish in these remarks; and we need not attempt to justify the spirit which dictated them. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 6:22-23

Job 6:22-23 . Did I say Or, is it because I said; Bring unto me? Give me something for my support or relief? Is this, or what else is the reason why you are afraid of me, or alienated from me? Did either my former covetousness, or my present necessity, make me troublesome or chargeable to you? or, Give a reward for me of your substance Or, Give a gift for my use or need? Did I send for you to come and visit me for this end? Nay, did you not come of your own accord? Why then are you so... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 6:1-30

Job’s reply to Eliphaz (6:1-7:21)Eliphaz had rebuked Job for his impatient outburst. In reply Job acknowledges that God is the one who has sent this affliction, but he points out that if Eliphaz knew how great this suffering was he would understand why Job spoke rashly (6:1-4). An animal cries out only with good reason (for example, if it is hungry for food). Job likewise cries out only with good reason. His tormenting thoughts and Eliphaz’s useless words are to him like food that makes him... read more
