Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 27:23

Men, who shall see and observe these things, shall clap their hands; partly, in token of their joy at the removal of such a public pest and tyrant; and partly, by way of astonishment; and partly, in contempt, and scorn, or derision; all which this gesture signifies in Scripture use; of which see Lamentations 2:15; Ezekiel 25:6; Nahum 3:19. Shall hiss him, in token of their amazement, detestation, and derision. See 1 Kings 9:8; 2 Chronicles 29:8; Jeremiah 25:9; Micah 6:16. Out of his place; now... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 27:1-23

JOB’S REPLY TO THE FRIENDS IN GENERALJob now alone in the field. Zophar, who should have followed Bildad, and to whom Job had given opportunity to speak, has apparently nothing to say. Job, therefore, after a pause, resumes his discourse, but in a different tone. Speaks more calmly, and even more solemnly. Declares, even with an appeal to the Almighty, that, notwithstanding all he still suffers at the hand of God, and however God seems to treat him as a guilty person, he is resolved, as a... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Job 27:6

DISCOURSE: 477SELF-REPROACHJob 27:6. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.JOB had been represented by God as a perfect and upright man: and the severe trials he was called to endure served only to prove the truth of that assertion. True it is that he was occasionally driven by the unkindness of his friends and the depth of his sufferings to speak without due reverence for the Supreme Being; but never were the predictions of Satan, or the accusations of his own friends, verified... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Job 27:2

A Vexed Soul Comforted January 21 st 1883 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) “The Almighty hath vexed my soul.” Job 27:2 . The word “who” was put into this verse by the translators, but it is not wanted; it is better as I have read it to you, “The Almighty hath vexed my soul.” The marginal reading is perhaps a more exact translation of the original: “The Almighty hath embittered my soul.” From this we learn that a good man may have his soul vexed; he may not be able to preserve the serenity of... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Job 27:10

The Touchstone of Godly Sincerity by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Will he always call upon God?" Job 27:10 . When Job resumes his address in this chapter, he appeals to God in a very solemn matter as to the truth of all that he had spoken. No less vehemently does he assert his innocence of any signal crime, or his consciousness of any secret guile, which could account for his being visited with extraordinary suffering. I do not know that his language necessarily implies any culpable... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 27:1-23

Chapter 27Job continued his answer and he said, As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, I'll not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me as long as I live ( Job 27:1-6 ).Job has now just had... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 27:1-23

Job 27:1 . Parable, equivalent to a wise, learned and conclusive speech. Job 27:2 . God hath taken away my judgment. The old readings here are preferable. The LXX, God judgeth me thus, or so heavily. Chaldaic, He taketh away the rule of my judgment; that is, he does not judge me according to the manner of men: he makes my case special, and out of the common rule. Job 27:3 . The Spirit of God is in my nostrils. Poole thinks that Job alludes here to Genesis 2:7. If so, Moses must... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 27:1-10

Job 27:1-10Moreover Job continued his parable. Points in Job’s parableI. A solemn asseveration. “As God liveth.” The words imply a belief--1. In the reality of the Divine existence. Whilst some deny this fact, the bulk of the race practically ignore it.2. In the awfulness of the Divine existence. There is a sublime awfulness in the words, “As God liveth.”3. In the severity of the Divine existence. “Who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty who hath vexed my soul.” As nature has winter... read more
