Job 27

Reina Valera 1909 (RV1909) · Español

1 Y REASUMIÓ Job su discurso, y dijo: 2 Vive Dios, el cual ha apartado mi causa, y el Omnipotente, que amargó el alma mía, 3 Que todo el tiempo que mi alma estuviere en mí, y hubiere hálito de Dios en mis narices, 4 Mis labios no hablarán iniquidad, ni mi lengua pronunciará engaño. 5 Nunca tal acontezca que yo os justifique: hasta morir no quitaré de mí mi integridad. 6 Mi justicia tengo asida, y no la cederé: no me reprochará mi corazón en el tiempo de mi vida. 7 Sea como el impío mi enemigo, y como el inicuo mi adversario. 8 Porque ¿cuál es la esperanza del hipócrita, por mucho que hubiere robado, cuando Dios arrebatare su alma? 9 ¿Oirá Dios su clamor cuando la tribulación sobre él viniere? 10 ¿Deleitaráse en el Omnipotente? ¿invocará á Dios en todo tiempo? 11 Yo os enseñaré en orden á la mano de Dios: no esconderé lo que hay para con el Omnipotente. 12 He aquí que todos vosotros lo habéis visto: ¿por qué pues os desvanecéis con fantasía? 13 Esta es para con Dios la suerte del hombre impío, y la herencia que los violentos han de recibir del Omnipotente. 14 Si sus hijos fueren multiplicados, serán para el cuchillo; y sus pequeños no se hartarán de pan; 15 Los que le quedaren, en muerte serán sepultados; y no llorarán sus viudas. 16 Si amontonare plata como polvo, y si preparare ropa como lodo; 17 Habrála él preparado, mas el justo se vestirá, y el inocente repartirá la plata. 18 Edificó su casa como la polilla, y cual cabaña que el guarda hizo. 19 El rico dormirá, mas no será recogido: abrirá sus ojos, mas él no será. 20 Asirán de él terrores como aguas: torbellino lo arrebatará de noche. 21 Lo antecogerá el solano, y partirá; y tempestad lo arrebatará del lugar suyo. 22 Dios pues descargará sobre él, y no perdonará: hará él por huir de su mano. 23 Batirán sus manos sobre él, y desde su lugar le silbarán.

Job 27:1

Job 27:1-23.

It was now Zophar's turn to speak. But as he and the other two were silent, virtually admitting defeat, after a pause Job proceeds.

1. parable--applied in the East to a figurative sententious embodiment of wisdom in poetic form, a gnome (Psa 49:4).

continued--proceeded to put forth; implying elevation of discourse.

Job 27:2

2. (1Sa 20:3).

taken away ... judgment--words unconsciously foreshadowing Jesus Christ (Is 53:8; Ac 8:33). God will not give Job his right, by declaring his innocence.

vexed--Hebrew, "made bitter" (Ru 1:20).

Job 27:3

3. Implying Job's knowledge of the fact that the living soul was breathed into man by God (Ge 2:7). "All the while." But Maurer, "As yet all my breath is in me" (notwithstanding my trials): the reason why I can speak so boldly.

Job 27:4

4. (Job 6:28, 30). The "deceit" would be if he were to admit guilt against the witness of his conscience.

Job 27:5

5. justify you--approve of your views.

mine integrity--which you deny, on account of my misfortunes.

Job 27:6

6. Rather, my "heart" (conscience) reproaches "not one of my days," that is, I do not repent of any of my days since I came into existence [Maurer].

Job 27:7

7. Let ... be--Let mine enemy be accounted as wicked, that is, He who opposes my asseveration of innocence must be regarded as actuated by criminal hostility. Not a curse on his enemies.

Job 27:8

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; Psa 104:29; Da 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 27:10) amid all his trials, which a hypocrite would not dare to do, shows he is no "hypocrite."

Job 27:10

10. Alluding to Job 22:26.

always call--He may do so in times of prosperity in order to be thought religious. But he will not, as I do, call on God in calamities verging on death. Therefore I cannot be a "hypocrite" (Job 19:25; 20:5; Psa 62:8).

Job 27:11-23

11-23. These words are contrary to Job's previous sentiments (see on Job 21:22-33; Job 24:22-25). Job 21:22-33; 24:22-25). They therefore seem to be Job's statement, not so much of his own sentiments, as of what Zophar would have said had he spoken when his turn came (end of the twenty-sixth chapter). So Job stated the friends' opinion (Job 21:17-21; 24:18-21). The objection is, why, if so, does not Job answer Zophar's opinion, as stated by himself? The fact is, it is probable that Job tacitly, by giving, in the twenty-eighth chapter, only a general answer, implies, that in spite of the wicked often dying, as he said, in prosperity, he does not mean to deny that the wicked are in the main dealt with according to right, and that God herein vindicates His moral government even here. Job therefore states Zophar's argument more strongly than Zophar would have done. But by comparing Job 27:13 with Job 20:29 ("portion," "heritage"), it will be seen, it is Zophar's argument, rather than his own, that Job states. Granting it to be true, implies Job, you ought not to use it as an argument to criminate me. For (Job 28:1-28) the ways of divine wisdom in afflicting the godly are inscrutable: all that is sure to man is, the fear of the Lord is wisdom (Job 28:28).

by the hand--rather, concerning the hand of God, namely, what God does in governing men.

with the Almighty--the counsel or principle which regulates God's dealings.
