| Geneva Study Bible Thou knowest that I am not {i} wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand. (i) By affliction you keep me as in a prison, and restrain me from doing evil, neither can any set me free. Wesley's Notes 10:7 Wicked - An hypocrite, as my friends account me. Deliver - But thou art the supreme ruler of the world; therefore I must wait thy time, and throw myself on thy mercy, in submission to thy sovereign will. King James Translators' Notes Thou...: Heb. It is upon thy knowledge Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 7. "Although Thou (the Omniscient) knowest," &c. (connected with Job 10:6), "Thou searchest after my sin." and . that none that can deliver out of thine hand-Therefore Thou hast no need to deal with me with the rapid violence which man would use (see Job 10:6). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 10:1-7 Job, being weary of his life, resolves to complain, but he will not charge God with unrighteousness. Here is a prayer that he might be delivered from the sting of his afflictions, which is sin. When God afflicts us, he contends with us; when he contends with us, there is always a reason; and it is desirable to know the reason, that we may repent of and forsake the sin for which God has a controversy with us. But when, like Job, we speak in the bitterness of our souls, we increase guilt and vexation. Let us harbour no hard thoughts of God; we shall hereafter see there was no cause for them. Job is sure that God does not discover things, nor judge of them, as men do; therefore he thinks it strange that God continues him under affliction, as if he must take time to inquire into his sin. |
