Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

15. filled their houses with silver-Some take this to refer to the treasures which the ancients used to bury with their dead. But see Job 3:26.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:11-19 Job complained of those present at his birth, for their tender attention to him. No creature comes into the world so helpless as man. God's power and providence upheld our frail lives, and his pity and patience spared our forfeited lives. Natural affection is put into parents' hearts by God. To desire to die that we may be with Christ, that we may be free from sin, is the effect and evidence of grace; but to desire to die, only that we may be delivered from the troubles of this life, savours of corruption. It is our wisdom and duty to make the best of that which is, be it living or dying; and so to live to the Lord, and die to the Lord, as in both to be his, Ro 14:8. Observe how Job describes the repose of the grave; There the wicked cease from troubling. When persecutors die, they can no longer persecute. There the weary are at rest: in the grave they rest from all their labours. And a rest from sin, temptation, conflict, sorrows, and labours, remains in the presence and enjoyment of God. There believers rest in Jesus, nay, as far as we trust in the Lord Jesus and obey him, we here find rest to our souls, though in the world we have tribulation.


Job 12:21 "He pours contempt on nobles And loosens the belt of the strong.
Job 27:16 "Though he piles up silver like dust And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,
Job 27:17 He may prepare it, but the just will wear it And the innocent will divide the silver. (NASB ©1995)
