Job 17:10-16

Verses 10-16

Third division JOB RESUMES THE REQUIEM (Job 17:11) WHICH AT Job 17:2 WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE SUPPLICATION THAT GOD SHOULD MEDIATE WITH GOD, Job 17:10-16.

The main thought of the elegy is the destruction of all hope for this life. This, as Ewald intimates, leads Job to look for justice beyond death; to seek in another life the fruitage of faith, hope, and charity. Job evidently reasons up to an eternal and immutable justice, from the framework of his moral being, which now resounds with testimonies to the purity of his conscience, inspiring him with the conviction that God would be his surety. This enables Job to triumph over sheol.
