SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Job 17, Job concludes his answer to Eliphaz.
     Job said that he had declined so severely that he was about to go among, and into, the graves [i.e., the graveyard]. Meanwhile, his friends mocked him and provoked him (1-2).
     So he asked that someone would post a surety bond in court for him [so that he might gain a proper trial], because his friends were not trying him properly -- God had withheld understanding from them; and they were respecters of persons who would bring trouble even upon their own households (3-5).
     But, God, said Job, had made him a byword and someone before whom people spit [as the ESV translates it]. His cause was urgent because of his great physical decline -- his eye grew dim and his limbs were as thin as a shadow. He said that upright men would be astonished at his plight and would act against hypocrites [like his friends]. He said that a righteous man [like himself] would be stronger and stronger by maintaining his way. As for his friends, Job could not find a wise man among them. Meanwhile, death was near for Job. His days were past, his purposes (even the very thoughts of his heart) were broken off; darkness was approaching; the grave would be his house; corruption was his father; the worm was his mother and his sister. No hope was left. He was about to be imprisoned in the pit with its other prisoners (6-16).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

1). Eliphaz Replies to Job (Job 15:1 - Job 15:35)
(Man is not pure, and wicked men {like you} suffer torment.)

2). Job Replies to Eliphaz (Job 16:1 - Job 17:16)
(You are miserable comforters.)


     1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. 2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
     3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? 4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. 5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
     6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. 7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. 9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger [he adds strength]. 10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. 11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
