| Geneva Study Bible He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 10. If ye do, though secretly, act partially. (See on [500]Job 13:8; [501]Ps 82:1, 2). God can successfully vindicate His acts, and needs no fallacious argument of man. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 13:1-12 With self-preference, Job declared that he needed not to be taught by them. Those who dispute are tempted to magnify themselves, and lower their brethren, more than is fit. When dismayed or distressed with the fear of wrath, the force of temptation, or the weight of affliction, we should apply to the Physician of our souls, who never rejects any, never prescribes amiss, and never leaves any case uncured. To Him we may speak at all times. To broken hearts and wounded consciences, all creatures, without Christ, are physicians of no value. Job evidently speaks with a very angry spirit against his friends. They had advanced some truths which nearly concerned Job, but the heart unhumbled before God, never meekly receives the reproofs of men. |
