Wesley's Notes

27:7 Let - I am so far from practicing wickedness, that I abhor the thoughts of it, and if I would wish to be revenged of my enemy, I could wish him no greater mischief than to be a wicked man.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. Let . be-Let mine enemy be accounted as wicked, that is, He who opposes my asseveration of innocence must be regarded as actuated by criminal hostility. Not a curse on his enemies.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

27:7-10 Job looked upon the condition of a hypocrite and a wicked man, to be most miserable. If they gained through life by their profession, and kept up their presumptuous hope till death, what would that avail when God required their souls? The more comfort we find in our religion, the more closely we shall cleave to it. Those who have no delight in God, are easily drawn away by the pleasures, and easily overcome by the crosses of this life.


Job 27:6 "I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. My heart does not reproach any of my days.
Job 27:8 "For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, When God requires his life? (NASB ©1995)
