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 27, Job continues his final argument in defense of his innocence.
     The first verse says that Job continued his parable. This seems to imply a pause after the words of chapter 26. Some commentators think that Job may have waited for Zophar's third reply. This did not come. As Job continued his final defence (Hebrew, "mashal," parable, oracle, or weighty discourse), he accused God of taking away his judgment and vexing his soul. Here Job charges God foolishly, something which he had avoided up till this point (Job 1:22; Job 2:10). Nevertheless, as the remainder of his discourse shows, he did not repudiate God, as Satan claimed he would (Job 1:9-11; Job 2:4-5); rather, he still clung to God (1-2).
     Job then told his friends that he would continue to assert his integrity and to deny the assertions of his friends (3-6).
     He then stated his desire that his enemies (meaning, perhaps, his accusers, or, perhaps, including them) would suffer the judgments of the wicked and the unrighteous. As for Job, he would teach his friends by the hand of God and would reveal to them the things which were with the Almighty (particularly the verdict of his innocence); indeed, said Job, they had already seen this truth; so he asked them why they were so empty in their accusations (7-12).
     Job then warned them about the fate of wicked oppressors (which, by implication, would be their fate if they continued to wickedly oppress Job by false accusations). The children of the wicked would be afflicted by the sword, and famine; and they would die unburied and without being mourned by their widows. Their riches and their garments would be given to the righteous. Their houses would be flimsy. They would lie down rich and wake up as nothing (i.e., poor, destitute). They would experience a flood of terrors; and a tempest would take them away in the night and cast them out of their place. God would not spare them; men would shoo them away with clapping of hands and hissing -- the way small animals are frightened away (13-23).

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.

2. The Debate About Job's Affliction (Job 2:11 - Job 37:24)

c. Round 3 (Job 22:1 - Job 31:40)

1). Eliphaz Replies to Job (Job 22:1 - Job 22:30)
(You have done evil to others; return to God.)

2). Job Replies to Eliphaz (Job 23:1 - Job 24:6 )
(If I could come before God I could persuade him of my innocence.
Some of those who know God perish as do some of the wicked.)

3). Bildad Replies to Job (Job 25:1 - Job 25:6 )
(How can anyone be righteous?)

4). Job Replies to Bildad (Job 26:1 - Job 31:40)
(You have been of no help.
God has denied me justice.
May my enemies be like the wicked who perish suddenly.
Man does not understand wisdom.
I long for my past blessings, but mockers surround me.
I have obeyed God.)


     1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
     2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; 3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; 4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live [among my days]. 7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? 9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always [in all of times] call upon God? 11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain [vain you are being vain]?
     13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. 14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee [fleeing he is fleeing] out of his hand. 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him [he shall hiss upon him] out of his place.
