욥기 40:9-14 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 40:6-14

Job was greatly humbled for what God had already said, but not sufficiently; he was brought low, but not low enough; and therefore God here proceeds to reason with him in the same manner and to the same purport as before, Job 40:6. Observe, 1. Those who duly receive what they have heard from God, and profit by it, shall hear more from him. 2. Those who are truly convinced of sin, and penitent for it, yet have need to be more thoroughly convinced and to be made more deeply penitent. Those who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:9

Hast thou an arm like God ?.... Such power as he has, which is infinite, almighty, and uncontrollable, and therefore there is no contending with him; as he has an arm on which good men may lean on and trust in, and by which they are supported, protected, and saved, so he has an arm to crush like a moth all that strive with him or against him; or canst thou thunder with a voice like him ? thunder is his voice; see Job 37:4 , &c.; and is expressive of his power, Job 26:14 ; and his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:10

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency ,.... With excellent majesty, as I am decked and clothed, Psalm 93:1 ; and array thyself with glory and beauty ; appear in the most glorious and splendid manner thou canst, make the best figure thou art able, put on royal robes, and take thy seat and throne, and sit as a king or judge in state and pomp, and exert thyself to do the following things; or take my seat and throne as the judge of the whole earth, and try if thou canst govern the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:11

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath ,.... Work thyself up into a passion, at least seemingly; put on all the airs of a wrathful and enraged king on a throne of state, whose wrath is like the roaring of a lion, and as messengers of death; pour out menaces plentifully, threatening what thou wilt do; and try if by such means thou canst humble the spirit of a proud man, as follows; and behold everyone that is proud, and abase him ; look sternly at him, put on a fierce, furious, and menacing... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:12

Look on everyone that is proud, and bring him low ,.... As the Lord often does; see Isaiah 2:11 ; this is the same as before; and tread down the wicked in their place ; the same with the proud, for pride makes men wicked; it is a sin, and very odious in the sight of God, and is highly resented by him; he resists the proud: now Job is bid, when he has brought proud men low, and laid their honour in the dust, to keep them there, to trample upon them, and tread them as mire in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:13

Hide them in the dust together ,.... Either in the dust of death, that they may be seen no more in this world, in the same place and circumstances where they showed their pride and haughtiness; or in the dust of the grave, and let them have an inglorious burial, like that of malefactors thrown into some common pit together; as, when multitudes are slain in battle, a large pit is dug, and the bodies are cast in together without any order or decency; or it may be rendered "alike" F2 יחד ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 40:14

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. From all his enemies temporal and spiritual, and out of all evils and calamities whatsoever; and that he stood in no need of his help and assistance, yea, that he was a match for him, and might be allowed to contend with him; but whereas he was not able to do the above things proposed to him, it could not be admitted that his own right hand could save him; and therefore ought quietly to submit to the sovereignty of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 40:9

Hast thou an arm like God? - Every word, from this to the end of Job 40:14 , has a wonderful tendency to humble the soul; and it is no wonder that at the conclusion of these sayings Job fell in the dust confounded, and ascribed righteousness to his Maker. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 40:13

Hide them in the dust together - Blend the high and the low, the rich and the poor, in one common ruin. Show them that thou art supreme, and canst do whatsoever thou pleasest. Bind their faces in secret - This seems to refer to the custom of preserving mummies: the whole body is wrapped round with strong swathings of linen or cotton cloth. Not only the limbs, but the very head, face, and all, are rolled round with strong filleting, so that not one feature can be seen, not even the... read more
