But, as you have all shown yourselves wholly devoid of wisdom (comp. Job 42:8), what you say has no real importance. 17:10-16 Job's friends had pretended to comfort him with the hope of his return to a prosperous estate; he here shows that those do not go wisely about the work of comforting the afflicted, who fetch their comforts from the possibility of recovery in this world. It is our wisdom to comfort ourselves, and others, in distress, with that which will not fail; the promise of God, his love and grace, and a well-grounded hope of eternal life. See how Job reconciles himself to the grave. Let this make believers willing to die; it is but going to bed; they are weary, and it is time that they were in their beds. Why should not they go willingly when their Father calls them? Let us remember our bodies are allied to corruption, the worm and the dust; and let us seek for that lively hope which shall be fulfilled, when the hope of the wicked shall be put out in darkness; that when our bodies are in the grave, our souls may enjoy the rest reserved for the people of God.Jump to Previous Find Try WiseJump to Next Find Try WiseLinks Job 17:10 NIVJob 17:10 NLT Job 17:10 ESV Job 17:10 NASB Job 17:10 KJV Job 17:10 Bible Apps Job 17:10 Biblia Paralela Job 17:10 Chinese Bible Job 17:10 French Bible Job 17:10 German Bible Alphabetical: a again all among But come do find For I man not now of on try will wise you OT Poetry: Job 17:10 But as for you all come (Jb) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
