Wesley's Notes

29:22 Dropped - As the rain, which when it comes down gently upon the earth, is most acceptable and beneficial to it.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

22. not again-did not contradict me.

dropped-affected their minds, as the genial rain does the soil on which it gently drops (Am 7:16; De 32:2; So 4:11).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

29:18-25 Being thus honoured and useful, Job had hoped to die in peace and honour, in a good old age. If such an expectation arise from lively faith in the providence and promise of God, it is well; but if from conceit of our own wisdom, and dependence on changeable, earthly things, it is ill grounded, and turns to sin. Every one that has the spirit of wisdom, has not the spirit of government; but Job had both. Yet he had the tenderness of a comforter. This he thought upon with pleasure, when he was himself a mourner. Our Lord Jesus is a King who hates iniquity, and upon whom the blessing of a world ready to perish comes. To Him let us give ear.


Deuteronomy 32:2 "Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb.
Job 29:10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to their palate. (NASB ©1995)
