Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 29:15
Job 29:15. I was eyes to the blind, &c.— The writer of the Observations remarks, that when Job would express his readiness to bring forward on their journey those who were enfeebled by sickness, or hurt by accident, and to guide in their way those who were blind, or ignorant of it, he says, I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame; referring to the difficult journeyings in the wildernesses of that country. See Numbers 10:31. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 29:1-25
Job’s past blessedness ch. 29"Chapter 29 is another classic example of Semitic rhetoric with all the elements of good symmetrical style. . . . The pattern is as follows:"Blessing, Job 29:2-6Honor, Job 29:7-11Job’s benevolence, Job 29:12-17Blessing, Job 29:18-20Honor, Job 29:21-25 . . ."Job in asserting his benevolence places a description of it in the climatic position in this oration, with the key line (Job 29:14) in the exact middle of the poem."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 29:1-40
2. Job’s defense of his innocence ch. 29-31Job gave a soliloquy before his dialogue with his three friends began (ch. 3). Now he concluded that dialogue with two soliloquies (chs. 28 and 29-31). In this second of the bracketing two, Job longed for his past state of blessedness (ch. 29), lamented his present misery (ch. 30), and reaffirmed his innocence calling on God to vindicate him in the future (ch. 31). This whole discourse is a kind of concluding summary of his case, and he delivered it as... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 29:1-40
These chapters form a section by themselves, in which Job reviews his life. He first of all draws a picture of his past prosperous career, when he was happy and respected (Job 29). With this he contrasts his present condition, when men he once despised now hold him in contempt, and he is in pain and sorrow and disgrace (Job 30). Finally, he reasserts his innocence of wickedness in any form (Job 31). read more
