Job 16:19-22

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Job 16:19

In thee. Let the cry of my blood, which issues from my wounds, and the injury which my reputation has suffered, come before the throne of God. Calumny is a species of murder. See Genesis iv. 10. (Calmet) --- If I be really guilty, I am willing to remain unburied. Let the dogs lick up my blood. (Cajetan) --- Cry. Let the hills re-echo my sufferings. (Pineda) Et quodcumque me'e6 possunt narrare querel'e6, Cogar ad argutas dicere solus aves. (Propertius) read more

Full. Hebrew, "scorners." Therefore I appeal to inanimate things; and, above all, to God, who cannot give a wrong judgment. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Job 16:22

Judged. Hebrew, "might plead." (Haydock) --- Earthly judges may be compelled to pronounce sentence publicly. Job is afraid lest the justice of his cause should remain undecided, till death overtook him, ver. 23. (Pineda) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 16:17-22

17-22 Job's condition was very deplorable; but he had the testimony of his conscience for him, that he never allowed himself in any gross sin. No one was ever more ready to acknowledge sins of infirmity. Eliphaz had charged him with hypocrisy in religion, but he specifies prayer, the great act of religion, and professes that in this he was pure, though not from all infirmity. He had a God to go to, who he doubted not took full notice of all his sorrows. Those who pour out tears before God,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 16:7-22

Job Shows The Pitifulness of his Case and Maintains his Innocence v. 7. But now He hath made me weary, God had brought him to the point of utter exhaustion; Thou hast made desolate all my company, his whole family, the loss of which, together with the estrangement of his wife, was doubly hard to bear, now that his friends had become hostile to him. v. 8. And Thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me, the fact that God had seized him and placed him in a shriveled and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Job 16:1-22

B.—Job: Although oppressed by his disconsolate condition, he nevertheless wishes and hopes that God will demonstrate his innocence, against the unreasonable accusations of his friendsJob 16-17(A brief preliminary repudiation of the discourses of the friends as aimless and unprofitable):Job 16:1-51 Then Job answered and said:2 I have heard many such things:miserable comforters are ye all.3 Shall vain words have an end?or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?4 I also... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 16:1-22

Turning from “Miserable Comforters” unto God Job 16:1-22 With bitterness the sufferer turns from his comforters to God. As the r.v. makes clear, he says that if he were in their place and they in his, instead of joining words together and evincing the pride of the immaculate, he would set himself to speak strengthening words and to assuage their grief by tender sympathy. He compares his pains to the attack of a wild beast, Job 16:7-14 ; and from this he proceeds to describe the anguish of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 16:1-22

Job immediately answered. His answer dealt less with the argument they suggested than before. While the darkness was still about him, and in some senses the agony of his soul was deepening, yet it is impossible to read the whole of this answer without seeing that through the terrible stress he was at least groping after light, if at the moment we may not say that he saw any gleam of it. He first manifested his impatience with these men. Their philosophy was not new. He had heard many such... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Job 16:22

OUR LAST JOURNEY‘When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.’ Job 16:22‘We need not wish to return. What is there here that should either tempt us to stay in this world or induce us to return to it if we could? Still, I could suppose in a future state some reasons for wishing to return. I can suppose we might have it in our hearts, for instance, to wish to undo the mischief which we did in life. If a dying man should receive mercy in his last moments, one... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 16:18-21

Job 16:18-Ecclesiastes : . Job cries to the avenger of blood to avenge his innocence. He is a martyr, and feels that his blood must cry for vengeance ( Genesis 4:10 *, Revelation 6:10). Job arrives at the astounding thought that God will be his avenger, though it is God that slays him. We have noticed how in Job’ s bitter complaint against God, the thought that the God, who had loved him in the past, will one day turn to him once more, had again and again broken through ( Job 7:8; Job 7:21,... read more
