Job Chapter 08 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Bildad reproves Job. (1-7)
Hypocrites will be destroyed. (8-19)
Bildad applies God's just dealing to Job. (20-22)

Verses 1-7 Job spake much to the purpose; but Bildad, like an eager, angry disputant, turns it all off with this, How long wilt thou speak these things? Men's meaning is not taken aright, and then they are rebuked, as if they were evil-doers. Even in disputes on religion, it is too common to treat others with sharpness, and their arguments with contempt. Bildad's discourse shows that he had not a favourable opinion of Job's character. Job owned that God did not pervert judgment; yet it did not therefore follow that his children were cast-aways, or that they did for some great transgression. Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, sometimes they are the trials of extraordinary graces: in judging of another's case, we ought to take the favorable side. Bildad puts Job in hope, that if he were indeed upright, he should yet see a good end of his present troubles. This is God's way of enriching the souls of his people with graces and comforts. The beginning is small, but the progress is to perfection. Dawning light grows to noon-day.

  욥8:1 빌닷의 첫 번째 대답
욥 8:1 수아 사람 빌닷이 대답하여 가로되 
욥 8:2 네가 어느 때까지 이런 말을 하겠으며 어느 때까지 네 입의 말이 광풍과 같겠는가 
욥 8:3 하나님이 어찌 심판을 굽게 하시겠으며 전능하신이가 어찌 공의를 굽게 하시겠는가 
욥 8:4 네 자녀들이 주께 득죄하였으므로 주께서 그들을 그 죄에 붙이셨나니 
욥 8:5 네가 만일 하나님을 부지런히 구하며 전능하신 이에게 빌고 
욥 8:6 또 청결하고 정직하면 정녕 너를 돌아보시고 네 의로운 집으로 형통하게 하실 것이라 
욥 8:7 네 시작은 미약하였으나 네 나중은 심히 창대하리라 

Verses 8-19 Bildad discourses well of hypocrites and evil-doers, and the fatal end of all their hopes and joys. He proves this truth of the destruction of the hopes and joys of hypocrites, by an appeal to former times. Bildad refers to the testimony of the ancients. Those teach best that utter words out of their heart, that speak from an experience of spiritual and divine things. A rush growing in fenny ground, looking very green, but withering in dry weather, represents the hypocrite's profession, which is maintained only in times of prosperity. The spider's web, spun with great skill, but easily swept away, represents a man's pretensions to religion when without the grace of God in his heart. A formal professor flatters himself in his own eyes, doubts not of his salvation, is secure, and cheats the world with his vain confidences. The flourishing of the tree, planted in the garden, striking root to the rock, yet after a time cut down and thrown aside, represents wicked men, when most firmly established, suddenly thrown down and forgotten. This doctrine of the vanity of a hypocrite's confidence, or the prosperity of a wicked man, is sound; but it was not applicable to the case of Job, if confined to the present world.

욥 8:8 청컨대 너는 옛시대 사람에게 물으며 열조의 터득한 일을 배울지어다 
욥 8:9 (우리는 어제부터 있었을 뿐이라 지식이 망매하니 세상에 있는 날이 그림자와 같으니라) 
욥 8:10 그들이 네게 가르쳐 이르지 아니하겠느냐 그 마음에서 나는 말을 발하지 아니하겠느냐 
욥 8:11 왕골이 진펄이 아니고 나겠으며 갈대가 물 없이 자라겠느냐 
욥 8:12 이런 것은 푸르러도 아직 벨 때 되기 전에 다른 풀보다 일찌기 마르느니라 
욥 8:13 하나님을 잊어버리는 자의 길은 다 이와 같고 사곡한 자의 소망은 없어지리니 
욥 8:14 그 믿는 것이 끊어지고 그 의지하는 것이 거미줄 같은즉 
욥 8:15 그 집을 의지할지라도 집이 서지 못하고 굳게 잡아도 집이 보존되지 못하리라 
욥 8:16 식물이 일광을 받고 푸르러서 그 가지가 동산에 벋어가며 
욥 8:17 그 뿌리가 돌 무더기에 서리어서 돌 가운데로 들어 갔을지라도 
욥 8:18 그 곳에서 뽑히면 그 자리도 모르는 체하고 이르기를 내가 너를 보지 못하였다 하리니 
욥 8:19 그 길의 희락은 이와 같고 그 후에 다른 것이 흙에서 나리라 

Verses 20-22 Bildad here assures Job, that as he was so he should fare; therefore they concluded, that as he fared so he was. God will not cast away an upright man; he may be cast down for a time, but he shall not be cast away for ever. Sin brings ruin on persons and families. Yet to argue, that Job was an ungodly, wicked man, was unjust and uncharitable. The mistake in these reasonings arose from Job's friends not distinguishing between the present state of trial and discipline, and the future state of final judgment. May we choose the portion, possess the confidence, bear the cross, and die the death of the righteous; and, in the mean time, be careful neither to wound others by rash judgments, nor to distress ourselves needlessly about the opinions of our fellow-creatures.


욥 8:20 하나님은 순전한 사람을 버리지 아니하시고 악한 자를 붙들어 주지 아니하신즉 

욥 8:21 웃음으로 네 입에,즐거운 소리로 네 입술에 채우시리니 

욥 8:22 너를 미워하는 자는 부끄러움을 입을 것이라 악인의 장막은 없어지리라
