Jó 8:8-22 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 8:8-19

Bildad here discourses very well on the sad catastrophe of hypocrites and evil-doers and the fatal period of all their hopes and joys. He will not be so bold as to say with Eliphaz that none that were righteous were ever cut off thus (Job 4:7); yet he takes it for granted that God, in the course of his providence, does ordinarily bring wicked men, who seemed pious and were prosperous, to shame and ruin in this world, and that, by making their prosperity short, he discovers their piety to be... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 8:20-22

Bildad here, in the close of his discourse, sums up what he has to say in a few words, setting before Job life and death, the blessing and the curse, assuring him that as he was so he should fare, and therefore they might conclude that as he fared so he was. 1. On the one hand, if he were a perfect upright man, God would not cast him away, Job 8:20. Though now he seemed forsaken of God, he would yet return to him, and by degrees would turn his mourning into dancing (Ps. 30:11) and comforts... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:8

For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age ,.... With respect to the truth of what he had said, or should say; he does not desire Job to take his word for it, but inquire how it was in former times; by which it would appear, that when good men have been in affliction and trouble, and have behaved well under it, as became them, they have been delivered out of it, and have been afterwards in more flourishing and comfortable circumstances, as Noah, Abraham, Lot, and others; and that wicked men... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:9

For we are but of yesterday F19 επαμεροι , Pindar. Pythia, Ode 8. ,.... Which is not to be understood strictly of the day last past, but of a short space of time backward; and especially when compared with the antediluvian fathers, who lived the far greater part of them upwards of nine hundred years; otherwise Bildad and his two friends were men in years; Eliphaz says, that with them were the gray headed and very aged men, much older than the father of Job, and Elihu speaks of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:10

Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee ,.... That is, the men of the former age, and their fathers before them, Job is directed to inquire of, and to prepare for a search into their records and traditions; from whom he might reasonably expect to be taught and told things that would be very instructive and useful to him in his present circumstances: and utter words out of their heart ? such as were the effect of mature judgment and long observation, and which they had laid up in their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:11

Can the rush grow up without mire ?.... No, at least not long, or so as to lift up his head on high, as the word signifies F1 היגאה "an attollit se", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius; "an superbiet", so some; Beza, Schultens. ; the rush or bulrush, which seems to be meant, delights in watery places, and has its name in Hebrew from its absorbing or drinking up water; it grows in moist and watery clay, or in marshy places, which Jarchi says is the sense of the word here... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:12

Whilst it is yet in its greenness ,.... Before it is come to its full height, or to a proper ripeness; when as yet it has not flowered, or is about it; before the time usual for it to turn and change; it being without moisture, water, or watery clay, will change: and not cut down ; by the scythe, or cropped by the hand of man: it withereth before any other herb ; of itself; rather sooner than such that do not require so much moisture; or in the sight and presence of them, they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:13

So are the paths of all that forget God ,.... Who forget that there is a God; he is not in all, and scarce in any of their thoughts, and they live without him in the world; who forget the works of God, of creation and providence, in which there is a glorious display of his being and perfections; who forget the benefits and blessings of his goodness they are every day partakers of, and are not thankful for them; and who forget the word, worship, and ordinances of God, and follow after and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:14

Whose hope shall be cut off ,.... The same thing as before, expressed in different words, and repeated for the certainty of it; signifying that it should be of no manner of use, should be wholly lost, and issue in black despair: the word has the signification of loathing, and is differently rendered, either, "whom his hope shall loathe" F5 אשר יקוט כסלז "quem abominabitur spes ejus", Montanus; "fastidit", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "cum taedio rejectabit", Schultens. or,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 8:15

He shall lean upon his house ,.... Either the spider or the hypocrite, or the hypocrite as the spider; that is, that which is the ground of his confidence, which is as the spider's house, on that he shall depend, either on his riches and outward prosperity, which he promises himself a long continuance of, and from whence he concludes himself to be high in the favour and good will of God; or on his works of righteousness, his outward profession of religion, attendance on external worship, and... read more
