But Zophar perverts Job's words, for he did not deny that he was a sinner, but only that he was an hypocrite. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 4. doctrine-purposely used of Job's speeches, which sounded like lessons of doctrine (De 32:2; Pr 4:2). thine-addressed to God. Job had maintained his sincerity against his friends suspicions, not faultlessness. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 11:1-6 Zophar attacked Job with great vehemence. He represented him as a man that loved to hear himself speak, though he could say nothing to the purpose, and as a man that maintained falsehoods. He desired God would show Job that less punishment was exacted than he deserved. We are ready, with much assurance, to call God to act in our quarrels, and to think that if he would but speak, he would take our part. We ought to leave all disputes to the judgment of God, which we are sure is according to truth; but those are not always right who are most forward to appeal to the Divine judgment. |
