6. shows there is misery enough in him to feed their cruelty
21. He craves pity
23. He believes the resurrection














(29) Be ye afraid . . .--Job threatens his friends with that condign punishment of which they regarded him as a conspicuous example.

Verse 29. - Be ye afraid of the sword; i.e. "the sword of God's justice, which will assuredly smite you if you persecute an innocent man." For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword; rather, for wrath is among the transgressions of the sward; i e. among the transgressions for which the sword is the fit punishment. It is "wrath" which leads Job's "comforters" to Persecute him. That ye may know there is a judgment; or, so that ye will know there is a judgment When the blow comes upon them they will recognize that it has come upon them on account of their ill treatment of their friend.
