Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. magnify, &c.-Speak proudly (Ob 12; Eze 35:13).

against me-emphatically repeated (Ps 38:16).

plead . reproach-English Version makes this part of the protasis, "if" being understood, and the apodosis beginning at Job 19:6. Better with Umbreit, If ye would become great heroes against me in truth, ye must prove (evince) against me my guilt, or shame, which you assert. In the English Version "reproach" will mean Job's calamities, which they "pleaded" against him as a "reproach," or proof of guilt.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:1-7 Job's friends blamed him as a wicked man, because he was so afflicted; here he describes their unkindness, showing that what they condemned was capable of excuse. Harsh language from friends, greatly adds to the weight of afflictions: yet it is best not to lay it to heart, lest we harbour resentment. Rather let us look to Him who endured the contradiction of sinners against himself, and was treated with far more cruelty than Job was, or we can be.


Psalm 35:26 Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.
Psalm 38:16 For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me."
Psalm 55:12 For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.
Psalm 55:13 But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend; (NASB ©1995)
