Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

13. So far was I from sending "widows" away empty (Job 22:9).

ready to perish-(Pr 31:6).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

29:7-17 All sorts of people paid respect to Job, not only for the dignity of his rank, but for his personal merit, his prudence, integrity, and good management. Happy the men who are blessed with such gifts as these! They have great opportunities of honouring God and doing good, but have great need to watch against pride. Happy the people who are blessed with such men! it is a token for good to them. Here we see what Job valued himself by, in the day of his prosperity. It was by his usefulness. He valued himself by the check he gave to the violence of proud and evil men. Good magistrates must thus be a restraint to evil-doers, and protect the innocent; in order to this, they should arm themselves with zeal and resolution. Such men are public blessings, and resemble Him who rescues poor sinners from Satan. How many who were ready to perish, now are blessing Him! But who can show forth His praises? May we trust in His mercy, and seek to imitate His truth, justice, and love.


Job 22:9 "You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the orphans has been crushed.
Job 31:19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering, (NASB ©1995)
