Job 19:25

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 19:1-29

Job 19:9-10 Compare the use of this passage by Scott in the affecting interview between Jeanie Deans and her sister, when the latter ( Heart of Midlothian, chap. xx.) upbraids herself for having forgotten 'what I promised when I faulded down the leaf of my Bible. "See," she said, producing the sacred volume, "the book opens aye at the place o' itsell. O see, Jeanie, what a fearfu' scripture!" Jeanie took her sister's Bible, and found that the fatal mark was made at this impressive text in the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 19:1-29

XVI."MY REDEEMER LIVETH"Job 19:1-29Job SPEAKSWITH simple strong art sustained by exuberant eloquence the author has now thrown his hero upon our sympathies, blending a strain of expectancy with tender emotion. In shame and pain, sick almost to death, baffled in his attempts to overcome the seeming indifference of Heaven, the sufferer lies broken and dejected. Bildad’s last address describing the fate of the godless man has been deliberately planned to strike at Job under cover of a general... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Job 19:1-29

CHAPTER 19 Job’s Reply to Bildad 1. How long will ye vex my soul? (Job 19:1-6 ) 2. And I am not heard! (Job 19:7-12 ) 3. Forsaken of men he pleads to be pitied (Job 19:13-24 ) 4. Faith supreme (Job 19:25-27 ) 5. The warning to his friends (Job 19:28-29 ) Job 19:1-6 . Bildad’s scathing speech did not bring Job into the dust. He acknowledges the words vexed his soul and broke him in pieces, but he does not change his viewpoint. He repudiates the guilt with which they charged him and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:1-29

JOB'S REPLY TO BILDAD (vv.1-6). Though Job did not lose his temper at the unjust accusations of Bildad, he shows here that the reproaches of his friends have struck deeply into his soul. "How long will you torment my soul, and break me in pieces with words?" (v.2). He is appealing to the fact that the best he can say of their words is that they are unfair. Ten times they had reproached him. Should they not be ashamed that they had actually wronged him? They had accused him of evil without... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 19:1-29

Job's Reply to the Second Speech of Bildad Job 19:0 The patriarch touched the reality of the case when he described the speeches which had been addressed to him as "words," saying, "How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?" (Job 19:2 .) Words are different in their meaning according to the difference of the tone in which they are uttered. Every speaker should be heard in his own personality, and hardly any one who has not heard him should be entrusted with the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 19:25-27

(25) For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: (26) And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: (27) Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Every word in those verses is of vast moment, and deserves our closest regard. First, observe Job's open and professed knowledge in a Redeemer: and that Redeemer his own. I know that my Redeemer... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Job 19:25

Redeemer may be understood of the Deity, without confining it to the second Person; (Isaias xli. 14., and lxix. 7.; Piscator) though it may have a more peculiar reference to Christ: (Junius; Haydock) in whom he believed, as the Redeemer of all mankind. (Calmet) --- Earth. Yea, ere long I shall be restored to health, (St. Chrysostom; Grotius) as an earnest and figure of the resurrection. Nothing is more common, in Scripture, than for the same prophecy to have a double accomplishment; one soon... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:23-29

23-29 The Spirit of God, at this time, seems to have powerfully wrought on the mind of Job. Here he witnessed a good confession; declared the soundness of his faith, and the assurance of his hope. Here is much of Christ and heaven; and he that said such things are these, declared plainly that he sought the better country, that is, the heavenly. Job was taught of God to believe in a living Redeemer; to look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come; he comforted himself... read more
