Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 27:8

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

8. "What hope hath the hypocrite, notwithstanding all his gains, when?" c. "Gained" is antithetic to "taketh away." UMBREIT'S translation is an unmeaning tautology. "When God cuts off, when He taketh away his life." taketh away —literally, "draws out" the soul from the body, which is, as it were, its scabbard ( Job 4:21 Psalms 104:29 ; Daniel 7:15 ). Job says that he admits what Bildad said ( Job 8:13 ) and Zophar ( Job 20:5 ). But he says the very fact of his still calling upon God ( Job 20:5- : ) amid all his trials, which a hypocrite would not dare to do, shows he is no "hypocrite." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
