욥기 35:9-14 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 35:9-13

Elihu here returns an answer to another word that Job had said, which, he thought, reflected much upon the justice and goodness of God, and therefore ought not to pass without a remark. Observe, I. What it was that Job complained of; it was this, That God did not regard the cries of the oppressed against their oppressors (Job 35:9): ?By reason of the multitude of oppressions, the many hardships which proud tyrants put upon poor people and the barbarous usage they give them, they make the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 35:14-16

Here is, I. Another improper word for which Elihu reproves Job (Job 35:14): Thou sayest thou shalt not see him; that is, 1. ?Thou complainest that thou dost not understand the meaning of his severe dealings with thee, nor discern the drift and design of them,? Job 23:8, 9. And, 2. ?Thou despairest of seeing his gracious returns to thee, of seeing better days again, and art ready to give up all for gone;? as Hezekiah (Isa. 38:11), I shall not see the Lord. As, when we are in prosperity, we are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 35:9

By reason of the multitude of oppressions, they make the oppressed to cry ,.... Which is either an illustration by an instance of what is before said, that wickedness hurts men, as particularly oppression does, which makes then cry; or this refers to something new, to another complaint of Job, or an undue expression of his. Elihu undertakes to answer; that men cry unto God, as he himself had, but are not heard and answered; the place or places referred to may be Job 24:12 . To which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 35:10

But none saith, where is God my Maker ?.... Or "Makers" F25 עשי "factores mei"; Drusius, Mercerus, Piscator, Cocceius, Michaelis, Schultens; so Broughton. , as in Psalm 149:2 ; for there are more concerned in the formation of man, Genesis 1:26 ; even the Father, Son, and Spirit, who are the one God that has made all men, Malachi 2:10 . Now not one of the oppressed ones that cry by reason of their oppression, or very few of them, inquire after God, seek unto him for help and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 35:11

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth ?.... Who are taught and know much, especially some of them; but not so much as man, see Isaiah 1:3 ; and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven ? who are wise to provide food and nests for themselves and their young; and such as are birds of passage, as the turtledove, the crane, the stork, and the swallow, to know the time of their coming and returning, see Jeremiah 8:7 . But then neither the beasts not; the fowls, though they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 35:12

There they cry ,.... As brutes do, and as in, Job 35:9 ; by reason of their oppressions, but not under a due sense of the hand of God upon them, nor of his being their only helper, and saviour, and deliverer; but none giveth answer ; to them, either God or men, and they lie groaning and howling under their oppression; because of the pride of evil men ; this is either to be connected with "they cry", and then the sense is, that they cry by reason of the oppressions of wicked men,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 35:13

Surely God will not hear vanity ,.... Or "a lie" F26 שוא "falsitatem", Beza; "mendacium", Pagninus, Montanus. , than which nothing is more an abomination to him; if men come to him with a lie in their mouths, they cannot expect to be heard by him; he is only nigh to those who call upon him in truth: or that which is "rash" F1 "Quod temerarium est", Cocceius. ; which is rashly uttered, and in a passionate wrathful manner, savouring of a revengeful spirit, too often the case of... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 35:14

Although thou sayest thou shall not see him ,.... Which is another expression of Job's taken notice of by Elihu, and to which he makes answer; he seems to refer to Job 23:3 . God is indeed invisible in his nature and essence, but is to be seen in his works of creation and providence; which Job was acquainted with, and in which he had seen somewhat of the glory of God, and of his divine perfections in them. See Job 9:4 . And he is to be seen in Christ by an eye of faith, and Job had... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 35:9

By reason of the multitude - Or rather, "From among the multitude" the oppressed clamor, יזעיקו yaziku : they shout, ישועו yeshavveu , because of the mighty. The wicked rich oppress the wicked poor; these cry aloud because of their oppressors; but they have no relief, because they call not upon God. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 35:10

Where is God my Maker - They have no just apprehension of his being; they do not consider themselves his creatures, or that he who created them still preserves them, and would make them happy if they would pray unto him. Who giveth songs in the night - This is variously translated. "Before whom the high angels give praise in the night." - Chaldee. "Who sets the night-watches." - Septuagint. "Gives meditations in the night." - Syriac and Arabic. "And that shyneth upon us that we... read more
