To corruption I have called: -- 'Thou art my father.' 'My mother' and 'my sister' -- to the worm. | | Geneva Study Bible I have said to corruption, Thou art my {o} father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. (o) I have no more hope in father, mother, sister, or any worldly thing: for the dust and worms will be to me instead of them. Wesley's Notes 17:14 Corruption - Heb. to the pit of corruption, the grave. Father - I am near a - kin to thee, and thou wilt receive and keep me in thy house, as parents do their children. King James Translators' Notes said: Heb. cried, or, called Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 14. Thou art my father, &c.-expressing most intimate connection (Pr 7:4). His diseased state made him closely akin to the grave and worm. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 17:10-16 Job's friends had pretended to comfort him with the hope of his return to a prosperous estate; he here shows that those do not go wisely about the work of comforting the afflicted, who fetch their comforts from the possibility of recovery in this world. It is our wisdom to comfort ourselves, and others, in distress, with that which will not fail; the promise of God, his love and grace, and a well-grounded hope of eternal life. See how Job reconciles himself to the grave. Let this make believers willing to die; it is but going to bed; they are weary, and it is time that they were in their beds. Why should not they go willingly when their Father calls them? Let us remember our bodies are allied to corruption, the worm and the dust; and let us seek for that lively hope which shall be fulfilled, when the hope of the wicked shall be put out in darkness; that when our bodies are in the grave, our souls may enjoy the rest reserved for the people of God. | |
