Job 27
Concise Complete
Job protests his sincerity. (1-6) The hypocrite is without
hope. (7-10) The miserable end of the wicked. (11-23)
Verses 1-6 Job's
friends now suffered him to speak, and he proceeded in a grave and useful
manner. Job had confidence in the goodness both of his cause and of his God; and
cheerfully committed his cause to him. But Job had not due reverence when he
spake of God as taking away his judgment, and vexing his soul. To resolve that
our hearts shall not reproach us, while we hold fast our integrity, baffles the
designs of the evil spirit.
Verses 7-10 Job
looked upon the condition of a hypocrite and a wicked man, to be most miserable.
If they gained through life by their profession, and kept up their presumptuous
hope till death, what would that avail when God required their souls? The more
comfort we find in our religion, the more closely we shall cleave to it. Those
who have no delight in God, are easily drawn away by the pleasures, and easily
overcome by the crosses of this life.
Verses 11-23 Job's
friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked men before death as
proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the
consequences of their death would be dreadful. Job undertook to set this matter
in a true light. Death to a godly man, is like a fair gale of wind to convey him
to the heavenly country; but, to a wicked man, it is like a storm, that hurries
him away to destruction. While he lived, he had the benefit of sparing mercy;
but now the day of God's patience is over, and he will pour out upon him his
wrath. When God casts down a man, there is no flying from, nor bearing up under
his anger. Those who will not now flee to the arms of Divine grace, which are
stretched out to receive them, will not be able to flee from the arms of Divine
wrath, which will shortly be stretched out to destroy them. And what is a man
profited if he gain the whole world, and thus lose his own soul?
