Job Chapter 29 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Job's former comforts. (1-6)
The honour paid to Job, His usefulness. (7-17)
His prospect of prosperity. (18-25)

Verses 1-6 Job proceeds to contrast his former prosperity with his present misery, through God's withdrawing from him. A gracious soul delights in God's smiles, not in the smiles of this world. Four things were then very pleasant to holy Job. 1. The confidence he had in the Divine protection. 2. The enjoyment he had of the Divine favour. 3. The communion he had with the Divine word. 4. The assurance he had of the Divine presence. God's presence with a man in his house, though it be but a cottage, makes it a castle and a palace. Then also he had comfort in his family. Riches and flourishing families, like a candle, may be soon extinguished. But when the mind is enlightened by the Holy Spirit, when a man walks in the light of God's countenance, every outward comfort is doubled, every trouble is diminished, and he may pass cheerfully by this light through life and through death. Yet the sensible comfort of this state is often withdrawn for a season; and commonly this arises from sinful neglect, and grieving the Holy Spirit: sometimes it may be a trial of a man's faith and grace. But it is needful to examine ourselves, to seek for the cause of such a change by fervent prayer, and to increase our watchfulness.

  욥29:1 욥의 마지막 독백
욥 29:1 욥이 또 비사를 들어 가로되 
욥 29:2 내가 이전 달과 하나님이 나를 보호하시던 날에 지내던 것 같이 되었으면 
욥 29:3 그 때는 그의 등불이 내 머리에 비취었고 내가 그 광명을 힘입어 흑암에 행하였었느니라 
욥 29:4 나의 강장하던 날과 같이 지내었으면 그 때는 하나님의 우정이 내 장막 위에 있었으며 
욥 29:5 그 때는 전능자가 오히려 나와 함께 계셨으며 나의 자녀들이 나를 둘러 있었으며 
욥 29:6 뻐터가 내 발자취를 씻기며 반석이 나를 위하여 기름 시내를 흘러 내었으며 

Verses 7-17 All sorts of people paid respect to Job, not only for the dignity of his rank, but for his personal merit, his prudence, integrity, and good management. Happy the men who are blessed with such gifts as these! They have great opportunities of honouring God and doing good, but have great need to watch against pride. Happy the people who are blessed with such men! it is a token for good to them. Here we see what Job valued himself by, in the day of his prosperity. It was by his usefulness. He valued himself by the check he gave to the violence of proud and evil men. Good magistrates must thus be a restraint to evil-doers, and protect the innocent; in order to this, they should arm themselves with zeal and resolution. Such men are public blessings, and resemble Him who rescues poor sinners from Satan. How many who were ready to perish, now are blessing Him! But who can show forth His praises? May we trust in His mercy, and seek to imitate His truth, justice, and love.

욥 29:7 그 때는 내가 나가서 성문에 이르기도 하며 내 자리를 거리에 베풀기도 하였었느니라 
욥 29:8 나를 보고 소년들은 숨으며 노인들은 일어나서 서며 
욥 29:9 방백들은 말을 참고 손으로 입을 가리우며 
욥 29:10 귀인들은 소리를 금하니 그 혀가 입 천장에 붙었었느니라 
욥 29:11 귀가 들은즉 나를 위하여 축복하고 눈이 본즉 나를 위하여 증거하였었나니 
욥 29:12 이는 내가 부르짖는 빈민과 도와줄 자 없는 고아를 건졌음이라 
욥 29:13 망하게 된 자도 나를 위하여 복을 빌었으며 과부의 마음이 나로 인하여 기뻐 노래하였었느니라 
욥 29:14 내가 의로 옷을 삼아 입었으며 나의 공의는 도포와 면류관 같았었느니라 
욥 29:15 나는 소경의 눈도 되고 절뚝발이의 발도 되고 
욥 29:16 빈궁한 자의 아비도 되며 생소한 자의 일을 사실하여 주었으며 
욥 29:17 불의한 자의 어금니를 꺽고 그 잇사이에서 겁탈한 물건을 빼어 내었었느니라 

Verses 18-25 Being thus honoured and useful, Job had hoped to die in peace and honour, in a good old age. If such an expectation arise from lively faith in the providence and promise of God, it is well; but if from conceit of our own wisdom, and dependence on changeable, earthly things, it is ill grounded, and turns to sin. Every one that has the spirit of wisdom, has not the spirit of government; but Job had both. Yet he had the tenderness of a comforter. This he thought upon with pleasure, when he was himself a mourner. Our Lord Jesus is a King who hates iniquity, and upon whom the blessing of a world ready to perish comes. To Him let us give ear.

욥 29:18 내가 스스로 말하기를 나는 내 보금자리에서 선종하리라 나의 날은 모래 같이 많을 것이라 
욥 29:19 내 뿌리는 물로 뻗어나가고 내 가지는 밤이 맞도록 이슬에 젖으며 
욥 29:20 내 영광은 내게 새로와지고 내 활은 내 손에서 날로 강하여지느니라 하였었노라 
욥 29:21 무리는 내 말을 들으며 나의 가르치기를 잠잠히 기다리다가 
욥 29:22 내가 말한 후에 그들이 말을 내지 못하였었나니 나의 말이 그들에게 이슬 같이 됨이니라 
욥 29:23 그들이 나 바라기를 비 같이 하였으며 입을 벌리기를 늦은 비 기다리듯 하였으므로 
욥 29:24 그들이 의지 없을 때에 내가 함소하여 동정하면 그들이 나의 얼굴 빛을 무색하게 아니하였었느니라 
욥 29:25 내가 그들의 길을 택하고 으뜸으로 앉았었나니 왕이 군중에 거함도 같았고 애곡하는 자를 위로하는 사람도 같았었느니라
