Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 29:7-17

7-17 All sorts of people paid respect to Job, not only for the dignity of his rank, but for his personal merit, his prudence, integrity, and good management. Happy the men who are blessed with such gifts as these! They have great opportunities of honouring God and doing good, but have great need to watch against pride. Happy the people who are blessed with such men! it is a token for good to them. Here we see what Job valued himself by, in the day of his prosperity. It was by his usefulness. He... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 29:12-25

Job Speaks of his Benevolence and the Honor Accorded Him v. 12. Because I delivered the poor that cried, making a plea for assistance, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him, the orphan who had no helper, Job practised true benevolence, dispensed real charity. v. 13. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, the forsaken and miserable ones blessed him with grateful wishes for the help he gave them; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy, by the... read more

the Bitter Memory of the Happy Past Job 29:1-25 How many thousands, looking back on the beautiful dawn of life which has become overcast, have uttered the thought of the opening words of this chapter! The worldling has no hope of the renewal of that blessed past; but the believer knows that in Christ he belongs to the eternal order, which enters into the devastation wrought by sin, arresting, canceling and converting evil into good. If we believe in Jesus Christ, submit to His will, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 29:1-25

Job now moved a step forward in his reply. He was still without a solution. That of his friends he utterly repudiated. In order to prepare the way for the utterance of a solemn oath of innocence, he first looked back at old and lost days in order to compare them with his present condition. In this chapter we have his description of the past. It is introduced with a sigh, Oh that I were as in the months of old. That condition is described first in its relation to God. They were days of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 29:1-25

Job 29. Job’ s Former Happy Days. Job 29:1-Joshua :. Job longs that he might once again live as of old under God’ s favour. In Job 29:4 “ secret” means intimacy ( cf. Psalms 25:14). Job 29:7-2 Samuel : . Job describes the reverence done to him by not only the young, but even the aged and the honourable. The gate of the city is the place of assembly, the “ counsel-house.” Job lives on his country estate, but goes into the city to give counsel. Job 29:21-Lamentations : should probably now... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 29:15

Eyes, i.e. instead of eyes, to instruct, and direct, and assist. To the blind; either, 1. Corporally. Or rather, 2. Spiritually; such as through ignorance or weakness were apt to mistake, and to be seduced or cheated by the craft and artifices of evil-minded men. These I cautioned, and advised, and led into the right way. Feet was I to the lame, i.e. ready to help him who was unable to help himself. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 29:16

A father, i.e. had the care and bowels of a father to them. The cause which I knew not; either, 1. Those which were not brought to my knowledge or tribunal, either through neglect, or because the injured persons durst not complain, I diligently inquired after. Or, 2. Those which were hard and difficult, and possibly were made so by the frauds or arts of the oppressors, or their advocates, which the poor injured person could not find out, I took pains to discover. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 29:17

The jaws; or, the jaw-bones; or, the grinders, the sharpest and strongest teeth in the jaw, i.e. their power and violence wherewith they used to oppress others. It is a metaphor from wild beasts, which break their prey with their teeth. Compare Psalms 3:7; Psalms 57:4; Psalms 58:6. Plucked the spoil out of his teeth, i.e. forced them to restore what they had violently and unjustly taken away. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 29:1-25

JOB’S RETROSPECTTakes a calm retrospective view of his past experience and life. Thus disproves the suspicions and accusations of his friends, and shows that his complaints were sufficiently well-grounded. The character secretly given him by God thus affirmed out of his own mouth. Does this not from a feeling of vanity and pride, but, like Paul, as compelled to it, for self-vindication. Probably resumes his speech (Job 29:1, “continued his parable”) after pausing for a reply which was not... read more
