Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 1:22

_ _ nor charged God foolishly — rather, “allowed himself to commit no folly against God” [Umbreit]. Job 2:10 proves that this is the meaning. Not as Margin “attributed no folly to God.” Hasty words against God, though natural in the bitterness of grief, are folly; literally, an “insipid, unsavory” thing (Job 6:6; Jeremiah 23:13, Margin). Folly in Scripture is continually equivalent to wickedness. For when man sins, it is himself, not God, whom he injures (Proverbs 8:36). We are to submit to trials, not because we see the reasons for them, nor yet as though they were matters of chance, but because God wills them, and has a right to send them, and has His own good reasons in sending them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 1:20-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 1:22

Charged — Heb. not imputed folly to God; so far was he from blaspheming God, that he did not entertain any dishonourable thought of God, as if he had done anything unworthy of his infinite wisdom, or justice, or goodness, but heartily acquiesced in his good pleasure, and in his righteous though sharp proceedings against him. Discontent and impatience do in effect impute folly to God. Against the workings of these we should carefully watch, acknowledging that God has done well, but we have done foolishly.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 1:22

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God (d) foolishly.

(d) But declared that God did all things according to justice and equity.
