Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. shutteth out-image from a door shutting out any entrance (Job 30:20). So the antitype. Christ (Ps 22:2).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-20 The prophet relates the more gloomy and discouraging part of his experience, and how he found support and relief. In the time of his trial the Lord had become terrible to him. It was an affliction that was misery itself; for sin makes the cup of affliction a bitter cup. The struggle between unbelief and faith is often very severe. But the weakest believer is wrong, if he thinks that his strength and hope are perished from the Lord.


Job 30:20 "I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.
Psalm 22:2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. (NASB ©1995)
