Job 10:14-15 RVA

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

If I sin, then thou markest me ,.... Or "observest me" F20 שמרתני "observasti me", Beza, Mercerus; "tum observas me", Schmidt. ; that is, he took notice of his sins, strictly inquired into them and all the circumstances of them, watched the motions and progress of them, and carefully laid them up, in order to bring them out against him another day, and afflict or punish him for them; or he set a watch about him, "kept him in" F21 "Custodisti me", Drusius. , and enclosed him... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 10:15

If I be wicked, woe is me ,.... In this world, and to all eternity; afflictions will abide me here, and everlasting wrath hereafter: these are the woes that belong to a wicked man; that is, a profane and abandoned sinner, that lives in sin, and gives up himself to all manner of wickedness; the Targum is,"destruction to me from the great judgment;'utter ruin is my portion, as it is of all wicked and unrighteous persons, Isaiah 3:11 , and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my... read more

If I sin - From thee nothing can be hidden; if I sin, thou takest account of the transgression, and canst not hold me for innocent when thou knowest I am guilty. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 10:15

If I be wicked - I must meet with that punishment that is due to the workers of iniquity. If I be righteous - I am only in the state which my duty to my Creator requires me to be in; and I cannot therefore suppose that on this account I can deserve any thing by way of favor from the justice of my Maker. I am full of confusion - I am confounded at my state and circumstances. I know that thou art merciful, and dost not afflict willingly the children of men; I know I have not wickedly... 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
