Job 13:23

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 13:23

That I am a sinner I confess; but that I am guilty of so many or such heinous crimes as my friends suppose I utterly deny; and if it be so, do thou, O Lord, discover it to my shame. Make me to know my transgression and my sin, if peradventure my heart deceive me therein; for I am not conscious to myself of any enormous crime. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 13:1-28

JOB’S REPLY TO ZOPHAR—CONTINUEDI. Job re-asserts his knowledge of the Divine procedure as not inferior to that of his friends (Job 13:1-2).“Lo, mine eye,” &c.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Job 13:23

Job 13:23 There is a sense in which every one knows that he is a sinner. Every one admits it, just as he admits any abstract Scriptural truth. But a man of the world looks upon sin rather in its relation to himself and its relation to other people than in its relation to God how it is ungrateful to God, how it grieves God, how it wounds Christ, how it offends the Holy Ghost. Neither does he measure sin by its true measurement, that whatever has not a pious motive, whatever does not give honour... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Job 13:23

Struggles of Conscience September 22nd, 1860 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin." Job 13:23 . There are many persons who long to have a deeper sense of their sinfulness, and then with a certain show of conscientious scruple, they make an excuse for the exercise of simple faith. That spiritual disease, which keeps sinners from Christ, assumes a different shape at different times. In Luther's day the precise evil... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 13:1-28

Chapter 13Lo, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood. Now what you know, the same I also know. I am not inferior to you. Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I would desire to reason with God ( Job 13:1-3 ).Tell me to stretch out my hands to God. I'd love to. I'd love to reason with God. But you guys...You're a bunch of forgers of lies, you are physicians of no value. Oh that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be to your wisdom ( Job 13:4-5 ).If you'd... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 13:1-28

Job 13:4 . Forgers of lies, misconstruing the ways of providence. Job 13:10 , He will surely reprove you, though under a specious veil you accept of persons. Job 13:12 . Your remembrances are like ashes. Your treasured wisdom is vain, and profiteth not. Your bodies of clay; profecto dorsa vestra sunt dorsa luti; truly your backs are backs of clay. The sense is, If God touch you, nothing remains of your glory but ashes; if he lay his rod on your back, you are trampled as clay... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 13:23

Job 13:23How many are mine iniquities and sins? Struggles of conscienceIn Luther’s day the precise evil under which men laboured was this: they believed in being self-righteous, and so they supposed that they must have good works before they might trust in Christ. In our day the evil takes another shape. Men have aimed at being self-righteous in quite a singular fashion; they think they must feel worse, and have a deeper conviction of sin before they may trust in Christ. It is really the same... read more
