Jó 10:14 NVT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 10:14-22

Here we have, I. Job's passionate complaints. On this harsh and unpleasant string he harps much, in which, though he cannot be justified, he may be excused. He complained not for nothing, as the murmuring Israelites, but had cause to complain. If we think it looks ill in him, let it be a warning to us to keep our temper better. 1. He complains of the strictness of God's judgment and the rigour of his proceedings against him, and is ready to call it summum jus?justice bordering on severity.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:1-22

Having answered Bildad, Job proceeds to pour out the bitterness of his soul in a pathetic complaint, which he addresses directly to God. There is not much that is novel in the long expostulation, which mainly goes over ground covered in Job 3:1-26 ; Job 6:1-30 ; Job 7:1-21 ; but some new grounds are alleged as pleas for mercy, if not for justice. These are In conclusion, Job begs for a little respite, a little time of comfort (verse 20), before he descends into the darkness of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:1-22

Appeal to the justice, knowledge, and goodness of God. In his extremity of maddening pain and in his contempt of life, Job resolves to give full way once more to words (verse 1). And as they pour forth in full flood from the bottom of his heart, we perceive that he has in reality truer and juster thoughts about God than those expressed in the preceding chapter. He proceeds to appeal one by one to the highest perfection which can be associated with the Divine Name. I. APPEAL TO THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:8-17

Job to God: the progress of the third controversy: 2. An inexplicable contradiction. I. GOD 'S FORMER LOVING CARE . 1 . Minutely detailed. 2 . Skilfully employed. As Job recalls the time when he was thus an object of God's paternal solicitude, he cannot help lingering over the sweet memories with which it floods his soul. Setting up, too, these tender reminiscences against the dark background of his present sorrow, he feels melted and softened. The thought of that Divine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:13-17

The hidden purposes of affliction. Job has reasoned much, and he has asked for an explanation of the Divine purpose. "Wherefore contendest thou with me? Doubtless he judges, as do his friends, that suffering is the natural consequence and certain punishment of wrong-doing. But he is conscientious in affirming his innocence of transgression, and the Divine testimony to his goodness agrees with this ( Job 2:3 ). What, then, is the explanation of the whole? Can we ever hope to know in this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 10:14

If I sin, then thou markest me ; rather, if I sinned , then thou didst observe me. Thou tookest note of all my sins as I committed them, and laidest them up in thy memory. And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity . This record of my offences thou still hast against me, and I cannot expect that thou wilt acquit me of them. Without some one to atone for them, men cannot be acquitted of their offences. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 10:14

If I sin - The object of this verse and the following is, evidently, to say that he was wholly perplexed. He did not know how to act. He could not understand the reason of the divine dealings, and he was wholly unable to explain them, and hence, he did not know how to act in a proper manner. It is expressive of a state of mind where the individual wishes to think and feel right, but where he finds so much to perplex him, that he does not know what to do. Job was sure that his friends were not... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 10:14

Job 10:14. If I sin If I commit the least sin; then thou markest me Thou dost not connive at, or pass by my sins, but dost severely and diligently observe them all, that thou mayest punish me. And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity Wilt not pardon, pity, and help me, but art resolved to punish me with rigour: words of great impatience and distrust. But he was so oppressed and overwhelmed with his troubles that it seems he could not look up with any comfort or confidence. Without... read more
