JOB'S REPLY. (Job 16:1-22)
(Job 13:4). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Many such things - That is, either things fitted to provoke and irritate, or sentiments that are common-place. There was nothing new in what they said, and nothing to the purpose.
Miserable comforters - Compare Job 13:4. They had come professedly to condole with him. Now all that they said was adapted only to irritate, and to deepen his distress. He was disappointed; and he was deeply wounded and grieved. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Such things - These things are but vulgar and trivial. And so are all creatures, to a soul under deep conviction of sin, or the arrest of death. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
I have heard many such things - These sayings of the ancients are not strange to me; but they do not apply to my case: ye see me in affliction; ye should endeavor to console me. This ye do not; and yet ye pretend to do it! Miserable comforters are ye all. |
