Job Chapter 14 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Job speaks of man's life. (1-6)
Of man's death. (7-15)
By sin man is subject to corruption. (16-22)

Verses 1-6 Job enlarges upon the condition of man, addressing himself also to God. Every man of Adam's fallen race is short-lived. All his show of beauty, happiness, and splendour falls before the stroke of sickness or death, as the flower before the scythe; or passes away like the shadow. How is it possible for a man's conduct to be sinless, when his heart is by nature unclean? Here is a clear proof that Job understood and believed the doctrine of original sin. He seems to have intended it as a plea, why the Lord should not deal with him according to his own works, but according to His mercy and grace. It is determined, in the counsel and decree of God, how long we shall live. Our times are in his hands, the powers of nature act under him; in him we live and move. And it is very useful to reflect seriously on the shortness and uncertainty of human life, and the fading nature of all earthly enjoyments. But it is still more important to look at the cause, and remedy of these evils. Until we are born of the Spirit, no spiritually good thing dwells in us, or can proceed from us. Even the little good in the regenerate is defiled with sin. We should therefore humble ourselves before God, and cast ourselves wholly on the mercy of God, through our Divine Surety. We should daily seek the renewing of the Holy Ghost, and look to heaven as the only place of perfect holiness and happiness.

  욥14:1 절망 가운데 소망을 바람
욥 14:1 여인에게서 난 사람은 사는 날이 적고 괴로움이 가득하며 
욥 14:2 그 발생함이 꽃과 같아서 쇠하여지고 그림자 같이 신속하여서 머물지 아니하거늘 
욥 14:3 이와 같은 자를 주께서 눈을 들어 살피시나이까 나를 주의 앞으로 이끌어서 심문하시나이까 
욥 14:4 누가 깨끗한 것을 더러운 것 가운데서 낼 수 있으리이까 하나도 없나이다 
욥 14:5 그 날을 정하셨고 그 달 수도 주께 있으므로 그 제한을 정하여 넘어가지 못하게 하셨사온즉 
욥 14:6 그에게서 눈을 돌이켜 그로 쉬게 하사 품군 같이 그 날을 마치게 하옵소서 

Verses 7-15 Though a tree is cut down, yet, in a moist situation, shoots come forth, and grow up as a newly planted tree. But when man is cut off by death, he is for ever removed from his place in this world. The life of man may fitly be compared to the waters of a land flood, which spread far, but soon dry up. All Job's expressions here show his belief in the great doctrine of the resurrection. Job's friends proving miserable comforters, he pleases himself with the expectation of a change. If our sins are forgiven, and our hearts renewed to holiness, heaven will be the rest of our souls, while our bodies are hidden in the grave from the malice of our enemies, feeling no more pain from our corruptions, or our corrections.

욥 14:7 나무는 소망이 있나니 찍힐지라도 다시 움이 나서 연한 가지가 끊이지 아니하며 
욥 14:8 그 뿌리가 땅에서 늙고 줄기가 흙에서 죽을지라도 
욥 14:9 물 기운에 움이 돋고 가지가 발하여 새로 심은 것과 같거니와 
욥 14:10 사람은 죽으면 소멸되나니 그 기운이 끊어진즉 그가 어디 있느뇨 
욥 14:11 물이 바다에서 줄어지고 하수가 잦아서 마름 같이 
욥 14:12 사람이 누우면 다시 일어나지 못하고 하늘이 없어지기까지 눈을 뜨지 못하며 잠을 깨지 못하느니라 
욥 14:13 주는 나를 음부에 감추시며 주의 진노가 쉴 때까지 나를 숨기시고 나를 위하여 기한을 정하시고 나를 기억하옵소서 
욥 14:14 사람이 죽으면 어찌 다시 살리이까 나는 나의 싸우는 모든 날 동안을 참고 놓이기를 기다렸겠나이다 
욥 14:15 주께서는 나를 부르셨겠고 나는 대답하였겠나이다 주께서는 주의 손으로 지으신 것을 아껴 보셨겠나이다

Verses 16-22 Job's faith and hope spake, and grace appeared to revive; but depravity again prevailed. He represents God as carrying matters to extremity against him. The Lord must prevail against all who contend with him. God may send disease and pain, we may lose all comfort in those near and dear to us, every hope of earthly happiness may be destroyed, but God will receive the believer into realms of eternal happiness. But what a change awaits the prosperous unbeliever! How will he answer when God shall call him to his tribunal? The Lord is yet upon a mercy-seat, ready to be gracious. Oh that sinners would be wise, that they would consider their latter end! While man's flesh is upon him, that is, the body he is so loth to lay down, it shall have pain; and while his soul is within him, that is, the spirit he is so loth to resign, it shall mourn. Dying work is hard work; dying pangs often are sore pangs. It is folly for men to defer repentance to a death-bed, and to have that to do which is the one thing needful, when unfit to do anything.

 


욥 14:16 그러하온데 이제 주께서 나의 걸음을 세시오니 나의 죄를 살피지 아니하시나이까 

욥 14:17 내 허물을 주머니에 봉하시고 내 죄악을 싸매시나이다 

욥 14:18 무너지는 산은 정녕 흩어지고 바위는 그 자리에서 옮겨가고 

욥 14:19 물은 돌을 닳게 하고 넘치는 물은 땅의 티끌을 씻어 버리나이다 이와 같이 주께서는 사람의 소망을 끊으시나이다 

욥 14:20 주께서 사람을 영영히 이기셔서 떠나게 하시며 그의 얼굴 빛을 변하게 하시고 쫓아 보내시오니 

욥 14:21 그 아들이 존귀하나 그가 알지 못하며 비천하나 그가 깨닫지 못하나이다 

욥 14:22 오직 자기의 살이 아프고 자기의 마음이 슬플 뿐이니이다
