Wesley's Notes

10:15 Wicked - An hypocrite, as my friends esteem me. Righteous - An upright man; so whether good or bad, all comes to one. Yet - Yet I have no comfort, or hopes of any good. Confusion - I am confounded within myself, not knowing what to say or do. Let my extremity move thee to pity, and help me.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

15. lift up my head-in conscious innocence (Ps 3:3).

see thou-rather, "and seeing I see (I too well see) mine affliction," (which seems to prove me guilty) [Umbreit].

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

10:14-22 Job did not deny that as a sinner he deserved his sufferings; but he thought that justice was executed upon him with peculiar rigour. His gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribed to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sense of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remaining depravity. Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will not destroy the work of his hands in any humble believer; but will renew him unto holiness, that he may enjoy eternal life. If anguish on earth renders the grave a desirable refuge, what will be their condition who are condemned to the blackness of darkness for ever? Let every sinner seek deliverance from that dreadful state, and every believer be thankful to Jesus, who delivereth from the wrath to come.


Job 6:29 "Desist now, let there be no injustice; Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.
Job 10:7 'According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no deliverance from Your hand.
Isaiah 3:11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him. (NASB ©1995)
