Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 29:11

_ _ blessed — extolled my virtues (Proverbs 31:28). Omit “me” after “heard”; whoever heard of me (in general, not in the market place, Job 29:7-10) praised me.

_ _ gave witness — to my honorable character. Image from a court of justice (Luke 4:22).

_ _ the eye — that is, “face to face”; antithesis to

_ _ ear — that is, report of me.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 29:7-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 29:11

Witness — Gave testimony to my pious, and just, and blameless conversation.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 29:11

When the (g) ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me:

(g) All that heard me, praised me.
