Jó 11

Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) · Português

1 Então Zofar, o naamita, respondeu, dizendo: 2 Por acaso a multidão de palavras não seria respondida? E o homem falador teria razão? 3 Por acaso tuas palavras tolas faria as pessoas se calarem? E zombarias tu, e ninguém te envergonharia? 4 Pois disseste: Minha doutrina é pura, e eu sou limpo diante de teus olhos. 5 Mas na verdade, queria eu que Deus falasse, e abrisse seus lábios contra ti, 6 E te fizesse saber os segredos da sabedoria, porque o verdadeiro conhecimento tem dois lados; por isso sabe tu que Deus tem te castigado menos que mereces por tua perversidade. 7 Podes tu compreender os mistérios de Deus? Chegarás tu à perfeição do Todo-Poderoso? 8 Sua sabedoria é mais alta que os céus; que tu poderás fazer? E mais profunda que o Xeol; que tu poderás conhecer? 9 Sua medida é mais comprida que a terra, e mais larga que o mar. 10 Se ele passar, e prender, ou se ajuntar para o julgamento,quem poderá o impedir? 11 Pois ele conhece as pessoas vãs, e vê a maldade; por acaso ele não a consideraria? 12 O homem tolo se tornará entendido quando do asno selvagem nascer um humano. 13 Se tu preparares o teu coração, e estenderes a ele tuas mãos; 14 Se alguma maldade houver em tua mão, lança-a de ti, e não deixes a injustiça habitar em tuas tendas; 15 Então levantarás teu rosto sem mácula; estarás firme, e não temerás; 16 E esquecerás teu sofrimento, ou lembrarás dele como de águas que já passaram; 17 E tua vida será mais clara que o meio-dia; ainda que haja trevas, tu serás como o amanhecer. 18 E serás confiante, porque haverá esperança; olharás em redor, e repousarás seguro. 19 E te deitarás, e ninguém te causará medo; e muitos suplicarão a ti. 20 Porém os olhos dos maus se enfraquecerão, e o refúgio deles perecerá; a esperança deles será a morte.

Jó 11:2

FIRST SERIES.

Job 11:1-20. First Speech of Zophar.

2. Zophar assails Job for his empty words, and indirectly, the two friends, for their weak reply. Taciturnity is highly prized among Orientals (Pr 10:8, 19).

Jó 11:3

3. lies--rather, "vain boasting" (Is 16:6; Jr 48:30). The "men" is emphatic; men of sense; in antithesis to "vain boasting."

mockest--upbraidest God by complaints, "shall no man make thee ashamed?"

Jó 11:4

4. doctrine--purposely used of Job's speeches, which sounded like lessons of doctrine (De 32:2; Pr 4:2).

thine--addressed to God. Job had maintained his sincerity against his friends suspicions, not faultlessness.

Jó 11:6

6. to that which is!--Rather, "they are double to [man's] wisdom" [Michaelis]. So the Hebrew is rendered (Pr 2:7). God's ways, which you arraign, if you were shown their secret wisdom, would be seen vastly to exceed that of men, including yours (1Co 1:25).

exacteth--Rather, "God consigns to oblivion in thy favor much of thy guilt."

Jó 11:7

7. Rather, "Penetrate to the perfections of the Almighty" (Job 9:10; Psa 139:6).

Jó 11:8

8. It--the "wisdom" of God (Job 11:6). The abruptness of the Hebrew is forcible: "The heights of heaven! What canst thou do" (as to attaining to them with thy gaze, Psa 139:8)?

know--namely, of His perfections.

Jó 11:10

10. cut off--Rather, as in Job 9:11, "pass over," as a storm; namely, rush upon in anger.

shut up--in prison, with a view to trial.

gather together--the parties for judgment: hold a judicial assembly; to pass sentence on the prisoners.

Jó 11:11

11. (Psa 94:11).

consider--so as to punish it. Rather, from the connection, Job 11:6, "He seeth wickedness also, which man does not perceive"; literally, "But no (other, save He) perceiveth it" [Umbreit]. God's "wisdom" (Job 11:6), detects sin where Job's human eye cannot reach (Job 11:8), so as to see any.

Jó 11:12

12. vain--hollow.

would be--"wants to consider himself wise"; opposed to God's "wisdom" (see on Job 11:11); refuses to see sin, where God sees it (Ro 1:22).

wild ass's colt--a proverb for untamed wildness (Job 39:5, 8; Jr 2:24; Ge 16:12; Hebrew, "a wild-ass man"). Man wishes to appear wisely obedient to his Lord, whereas he is, from his birth, unsubdued in spirit.

Jó 11:13

13. The apodosis to the "If" is at Job 11:15. The preparation of the heart is to be obtained (Pr 16:1) by stretching out the hands in prayer for it (Psa 10:17; 1Ch 29:18).

Jó 11:14

14. Rather, "if thou wilt put far away the iniquity in thine hand" (as Zaccheus did, Lu 19:8). The apodosis or conclusion is at Job 11:15, "then shalt thou," &c.

Jó 11:15

15. Zophar refers to Job's own words (Job 10:15), "yet will I not lift up my head," even though righteous. Zophar declares, if Job will follow his advice, he may "lift up his face."

spot--(De 32:5).

steadfast--literally, "run fast together," like metals which become firm and hard by fusion. The sinner on the contrary is wavering.

Jó 11:16

16. Just as when the stream runs dry (Job 6:17), the danger threatened by its wild waves is forgotten (Is 65:16) [Umbreit].

Jó 11:17

17. age--days of life.

the noon-day--namely, of thy former prosperity; which, in the poet's image, had gone on increasing, until it reached its height, as the sun rises higher and higher until it reaches the meridian (Pr 4:18).

shine forth--rather, "though now in darkness, thou shall be as the morning"; or, "thy darkness (if any dark shade should arise on thee, it) shall be as the morning" (only the dullness of morning twilight, not nocturnal darkness) [Umbreit].

Jó 11:18

18. The experience of thy life will teach thee there is hope for man in every trial.

dig--namely, wells; the chief necessity in the East. Better, "though now ashamed (Ro 5:5, opposed to the previous 'hope'), thou shalt then rest safely" [Gesenius];

Jó 11:20

20. A warning to Job, if he would not turn to God.

The wicked--that is, obdurate sinners.

eyes ... fail--that is, in vain look for relief (De 28:65). Zophar implies Job's only hope of relief is in a change of heart.

they shall not escape--literally, "every refuge shall vanish from them."

giving up of the ghost--Their hope shall leave them as the breath does the body (Pr 11:7).
