Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 19:14

My kinsfolk have failed, to wit, to perform the offices of humanity and friendship which they owe to me. Have forgotten me, i.e. neglect and disregard me as much as if they had quite forgotten me. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 19:1-29

NotesJob 19:23. “O that my words were now written!” The “words” understood as either—(1) Those now to be uttered. So JEROME, PISCATOR, CARYL, HENRY, &c. As an everlasting monument of his faith in the resurrection.—MAYER. Such as would come within the inscription on a rock; therefore, those contained in Job 19:25-27.—SCOTT. Or (2) Those which he had already uttered in defence of his innocence. So MERCER, NOYES, &c. All the declarations he had already made of his integrity, together with... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 19:1-29

Chapter 19Then Job answered and said, How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with your words? These ten times you have reproached me: and you're not ashamed that you made yourself like a stranger to me. And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: Know now that God hath overthrown me, encompassed me in his net ( Job 19:1-6 ).Now this is the thing that upsets them, that he is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 19:1-29

Job 19:3 . These ten times have ye reproached me. A form of speech which puts a certain number for one less certain. Job had no doubt noticed about ten principal arguments levelled against him. Job 19:6 . Know now that God hath overthrown me. Cease then from your asperities, and leave me in his hands. So is the sense of Job 19:21-22. Job 19:12 . His troops came against me; the Sabeans and Chaldeans, to take away my cattle, as in chap. 1. He sent them to strip me of my patriarchal... read more

Job 19:1-29Then Job answered and said.Complaints and confidencesI. Job bitterly complaining.1. He complains of the conduct of his friends, and especially their want of sympathy.(1) They exasperated him with their words.(2) With their persistent hostility.(3) With their callousness.(4) With their assumed superiority.Nothing tends more to aggravate a man’s suffering than the heartless and wordy talk of those who controvert his opinions in the hour of his distress.2. He complains of the conduct of... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 19:14

Job 19:14My kinsfolk have failed. Fickleness of friendsWhat is sweeter than a well-tuned lute, and what is more delightful than a faithful friend, who can cheer us in sorrow with wise and affectionate discourse? Nothing, however, is sooner untuned than a lute, and nothing is more fickle than a friend. The tone of the one changes with the weather, that of the other with fortune. With a clear sky, and a bright sun, and a gentle breeze, you will have friends in plenty; but let fortune frown, and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 19:13

Job 19:13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. Ver. 13. He hath put my brethren far from me ] In their affections at least. Some stuck to him, but for a mischief, for they proved miserable comforters, as did likewise Peter to our Saviour, who fled not with the rest of the disciples, but better he had for any good he did him. "A brother is born for adversity," saith Solomon, Proverbs 17:17 ; and although at other times there may be some... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 19:14

Job 19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. Ver. 14. My kinsfolk have failed ] scil. In courtesy, as Ruth’s kinsman did. Job had many kinsfolk, but few friends; and this was a great grief to him, as it was afterwards also to David, Psalms 31:11 ; Psalms 38:11 ; Psalms 69:8 ; to Heman, Psalms 88:8 ; and to Paul, 2 Timothy 4:16 . And my familiar friends ] They whom I favoured, saith Broughton, according to Psalms 11:7 . Have forgotten me ] Out of sight out of... read more
