Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 29:4

_ _ youth — literally, “autumn”; the time of the ripe fruits of my prosperity. Applied to youth, as the Orientalists began their year with autumn, the most temperate season in the East.

_ _ secret — when the intimate friendship of God rested on my tent (Proverbs 3:32; Psalms 31:20; Genesis 18:17; John 15:15). The Hebrew often means a divan for deliberation.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
