• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 2. Therefore--Rather, the more excited I feel by Job's speech, the more for that very reason shall my reply be supplied by my calm consideration. Literally, "Notwithstanding; my calm thoughts (as in Job 4:13) shall furnish my answer, because of the excitement (haste) within me" [UMBREIT].• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 3. check of my reproach--that is, the castigation intended as a reproach (literally, "shame") to me.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 5. the hypocrite--literally, "the ungodly" (Ps 37:35, 36).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 6. (Isa 14:13; Ob 3, 4).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 7. dung--in contrast to the haughtiness of the sinner (Job 20:6); this strong term expresses disgust and the lowest degradation (Ps 83:10; 1Ki 14:10).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 8. (Ps 73:20).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 9. Rather "the eye followeth him, but can discern him no more." A sharp-looking is meant (Job 28:7; Job 7:10).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 10. seek to please--"Atone to the poor" (by restoring the property of which they had been robbed by the father) [DE WETTE]. Better than English Version, "The children" are reduced to the humiliating condition of "seeking the favor of those very poor," whom the father had oppressed. But UMBREIT translates as Margin.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 11. (Ps 25:7), so Vulgate. GESENIUS has "full of youth"; namely, in the fulness of his youthful strength he shall be laid in the dust. But "bones" plainly alludes to Job's disease, probably to Job's own words (Job 19:20). UMBREIT translates, "full of his secret sins," as in Ps 90:8; his secret guilt in his time of seeming righteousness, like secret poison, at last lays him in the dust. The English Version is best. Zophar alludes to Job's own words (Job 17:16).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 12. be--"taste sweet." Sin's fascination is like poison sweet to the taste, but at last deadly to the vital organs (Pr 20:17; Job 9:17, 18).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 14. turned--Hebrew denotes a total change into a disagreeable contrary (Jer 2:21; compare Re 10:9, 10).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 15. He is forced to disgorge his ill-gotten wealth.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 16. shall suck--It shall turn out that he has sucked the poison, &c.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 17. floods--literally, "stream of floods," plentiful streams flowing with milk, &c. (Job 29:6; Ex 3:17). Honey and butter are more fluid in the East than with us and are poured out from jars. These "rivers" or water brooks are in the sultry East emblems of prosperity.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 18. Image from food which is taken away from one before he can swallow it.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 19. oppressed--whereas he ought to have espoused their cause (2Ch 16:10).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 20. UMBREIT translates, "His inward parts know no rest" from desires.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 21. look for--rather, "because his goods," that is, prosperity shall have no endurance.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 22. shall be--rather, "he is (feeleth) straitened." The next clause explains in what respect.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 23. Rather, "God shall cast (may God send) [UMBREIT] upon him the fury of His wrath to fill his belly!"• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 24. steel--rather, "brass." While the wicked flees from one danger, he falls into a greater one from an opposite quarter [UMBREIT].• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 25. It is drawn--Rather, "He (God) draweth (the sword, Jos 5:13) and (no sooner has He done so, than) it cometh out of (that is, passes right through) the (sinner's) body" (De 32:41, 42; Eze 21:9, 10). The glittering sword is a happy image for lightning.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 26. All darkness--that is, every calamity that befalls the wicked shall be hid (in store for him) in His (God's) secret places, or treasures (Jude 13; De 32:34).• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 27. All creation is at enmity with him, and proclaims his guilt, which he would fain conceal.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 28. increase--prosperity. Ill got--ill gone.• JFB Top â € ¢ SRB AC OU OU Index Verse 29. appointed--not as a matter of chance, but by the divine "decree" (Margin) and settled principle.
