Job 13:4 - Exposition

But ye are forgers of lies . A harsh expression, indicating that Job was thoroughly exasperated. The lies which his friends had forged were, partly, misrepresentations of what he had said, as for example Job 11:4 , but mainly statements, more or less covert, which implied that he had brought all his calamities on himself by a course of evil-doing (see Job 4:7 , Job 4:8 ; Job 8:13 , Job 8:14 ; Job 11:11 , Job 11:14 , Job 11:20 ). Ye are all physicians of no value . Job's friends had come to him to "comfort" him ( Job 2:11 ), and act as physicians of his soul. But they had entirely failed to be of the least service. They had not even understood his case.
