Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 14:17

_ _ sealed up — (Job 9:7). Is shut up in eternal oblivion, that is, God thenceforth will think no more of my former sins. To cover sins is to completely forgive them (Psalms 32:1; Psalms 85:2). Purses of money in the East are usually sealed.

_ _ sewest up — rather, “coverest”; akin to an Arabic word, “to color over,” to forget wholly.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 14:16-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 14:17

Sealed — As writings or other choice things, that they may all be brought forth upon occasion, and not one of them forgotten. Thou keepest all my sins in thy memory. But herein Job speaks rashly.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 14:17

My transgression [is] sealed up in a (i) bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

(i) You lay them all together and do not allow any of my sins to go unpunished.
