Job Chapter 26 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Job reproves Bildad. (1-4)
Job acknowledges the power of God. (5-14)

Verses 1-4 Job derided Bildad's answer; his words were a mixture of peevishness and self-preference. Bildad ought to have laid before Job the consolations, rather than the terrors of the Almighty. Christ knows how to speak what is proper for the weary, ( Isaiah 50:4 ) ; and his ministers should not grieve those whom God would not have made sad. We are often disappointed in our expectations from our friends who should comfort us; but the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, never mistakes, nor fails of his end.

  욥26:1 욥의 여덟 번째 대답
욥 26:1 욥이 대답하여 가로되 
욥 26:2 네가 힘 없는 자를 참 잘 도왔구나 기력 없는 팔을 참 잘 구원하였구나 
욥 26:3 지혜 없는 자를 참 잘 가르쳤구나 큰 지식을 참 잘 나타내었구나 
욥 26:4 네가 누구를 향하여 말을 내었느냐 뉘 신이 네게서 나왔느냐 

Verses 5-14 Many striking instances are here given of the wisdom and power of God, in the creation and preservation of the world. If we look about us, to the earth and waters here below, we see his almighty power. If we consider hell beneath, though out of our sight, yet we may conceive the discoveries of God's power there. If we look up to heaven above, we see displays of God's almighty power. By his Spirit, the eternal Spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, the breath of his mouth, ( Psalms 33:6 ) , he has not only made the heavens, but beautified them. By redemption, all the other wonderful works of the Lord are eclipsed; and we may draw near, and taste his grace, learn to love him, and walk with delight in his ways. The ground of the controversy between Job and the other disputants was, that they unjustly thought from his afflictions that he must have been guilty of heinous crimes. They appear not to have duly considered the evil and just desert of original sin; nor did they take into account the gracious designs of God in purifying his people. Job also darkened counsel by words without knowledge. But his views were more distinct. He does not appear to have alleged his personal righteousness as the ground of his hope towards God. Yet what he admitted in a general view of his case, he in effect denied, while he complained of his sufferings as unmerited and severe; that very complaint proving the necessity for their being sent, in order to his being further humbled in the sight of God.


욥 26:5 음령들이 큰 물과 수족 밑에서 떠나니 

욥 26:6 하나님 앞에는 음부도 드러나며 멸망의 웅덩이도 가리움이 없음이니라 

욥 26:7 그는 북편 하늘을 허공에 펴시며 땅을 공간에 다시며 

욥 26:8 물을 빽빽한 구름에 싸시나 그 밑의 구름이 찢어지지 아니하느니라 

욥 26:9 그는 자기의 보좌 앞을 가리우시고 자기 구름으로 그 위에 펴시며 

욥 26:10 수면에 경계를 그으셨으되 빛과 어두움의 지경까지 한정을 세우셨느니라 

욥 26:11 그가 꾸짖으신즉 하늘 기둥이 떨며 놀라느니라 

욥 26:12 그는 권능으로 바다를 흉용케 하시며 지혜로 라합을 쳐서 파하시며 

욥 26:13 그 신으로 하늘을 단장하시고 손으로 날랜 뱀을 찌르시나니 

욥 26:14 이런 것은 그 행사의 시작점이요 우리가 그에게 대하여 들은 것도 심히 세미한 소리뿐이니라 그 큰 능력의 우뢰야 누 가 능히 측량하랴
