Job Chapter 40 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Job humbles himself to God. (1-5)
The Lord reasons with Job to show his righteousness, power, and wisdom. (6-14)
God's power shown in Behemoth. (15-24)

Verses 1-5 Communion with the Lord effectually convinces and humbles a saint, and makes him glad to part with his most beloved sins. There is need to be thoroughly convinced and humbled, to prepare us for remarkable deliverances. After God had shown Job, by his manifest ignorance of the works of nature, how unable he was to judge of the methods and designs of Providence, he puts a convincing question to him; Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? Now Job began to melt into godly sorrow: when his friends reasoned with him, he did not yield; but the voice of the Lord is powerful. When the Spirit of truth is come, he shall convince. Job yields himself to the grace of God. He owns himself an offender, and has nothing to say to justify himself. He is now sensible that he has sinned; and therefore he calls himself vile. Repentance changes men's opinion of themselves. Job is now convinced of his error. Those who are truly sensible of their own sinfulness and vileness, dare not justify themselves before God. He perceived that he was a poor, mean, foolish, and sinful creature, who ought not to have uttered one word against the Divine conduct. One glimpse of God's holy nature would appal the stoutest rebel. How, then will the wicked bear the sight of his glory at the day of judgment? But when we see this glory revealed in Jesus Christ, we shall be humbled without being terrified; self-abasement agrees with filial love.

  욥40:1 하나님의 말씀과 욥의 침묵
욥 40:1 여호와께서 또 욥에게 말씀하여 가라사대 
욥 40:2 변박하는 자가 전능자와 다투겠느냐 하나님과 변론하는 자는 대답할지니라 
욥 40:3 욥이 여호와께 대답하여 가로되 
욥 40:4 나는 미천하오니 무엇이라 주께 대답하리이까 손으로 내 입을 가릴 뿐이로소이다 
욥 40:5 내가 한두번 말하였사온즉 다시는 더하지도 아니하겠고 대답지도 아니하겠나이다 

Verses 6-14 Those who profit by what they have heard from God, shall hear more from him. And those who are truly convinced of sin, yet need to be more thoroughly convinced and more humbled. No doubt God, and he only, has power to humble and bring down proud men; he has wisdom to know when and how to do it, and it is not for us to teach him how to govern the world. Our own hands cannot save us by recommending us to God's grace, much less rescuing us from his justice; and therefore into his hand we must commit ourselves. The renewal of a believer proceeds in the same way of conviction, humbling, and watchfulness against remaining sin, as his first conversion. When convinced of many evils in our conduct, we still need convincing of many more.

욥 40:6 여호와께서 푹풍 가운데서 욥에게 말씀하여 가라사대 
욥 40:7 너는 대장부처럼 허리를 묶고 내가 네게 묻는 것을 대답할지니라 
욥 40:8 네가 내 심판을 폐하려느냐 스스로 의롭다 하려 하여 나를 불의하다 하느냐 
욥 40:9 네가 하나님처럼 팔이 있느냐 하나님처럼 우렁차게 울리는 소리를 내겠느냐 
욥 40:10 너는 위엄과 존귀로 스스로 꾸미며 영광과 화미를 스스로 입을지니라 
욥 40:11 너의 넘치는 노를 쏟아서 교만한 자를 발견하여 낱낱이 낮추되 
욥 40:12 곧 모든 교만한 자를 발견하여 낮추며 악인을 그 처소에서 밟아서 
욥 40:13 그들을 함께 진토에 묻고 그 얼굴을 싸서 어둑한 곳에 둘지니라 
욥 40:14 그리하면 네 오른손이 너를 구원할 수 있다고 내가 인정하리라 

Verses 15-24 God, for the further proving of his own power, describes two vast animals, far exceeding man in bulk and strength. Behemoth signifies beasts. Most understand it of an animal well known in Egypt, called the river-horse, or hippopotamus. This vast animal is noticed as an argument to humble ourselves before the great God; for he created this vast animal, which is so fearfully and wonderfully made. Whatever strength this or any other creature has, it is derived from God. He that made the soul of man, knows all the ways to it, and can make the sword of justice, his wrath, to approach and touch it. Every godly man has spiritual weapons, the whole armour of God, to resist, yea, to overcome the tempter, that his never-dying soul may be safe, whatever becomes of his frail flesh and mortal body.

욥 40:15 이제 소 같이 풀을 먹는 하마를 볼지어다 내가 너를 지은 것 같이 그것도 지었느니라 
욥 40:16 그 힘은 허리에 있고 그 세력은 배의 힘줄에 있고 
욥 40:17 그 꼬리 치는 것은 백향목이 흔들리는 것 같고 그 넓적다리 힘줄은 서로 연락되었으며 
욥 40:18 그 뼈는 놋관 같고 그 가릿대는 철장 같으니
욥 40:19 그것은 하나님의 창조물 중에 으뜸이라 그것을 지은 자가 칼을 주었고 
욥 40:20 모든 들 짐승의 노는 산은 그것을 위하여 식물을 내느니라 
욥 40:21 그것이 연 줄기 아래나 갈 밭 가운데나 못속에 엎드리니 
욥 40:22 연 그늘이 덮으며 시내 버들이 둘렀구나 
욥 40:23 하수가 창일한다 할지라도 그것이 놀라지 않고 요단강이 불어 그 입에 미칠지라도 자약하니 
욥 40:24 그것이 정신 차리고 있을 때에 누가 능히 잡을 수 있겠으며 갈고리로 그 코를 꿸 수 있겠느냐
