Job 30:24
_ _ Expressing Job’s faith as to the state after death. Though one must go to the grave, yet He will no more afflict in the ruin of the body (so Hebrew for “grave”) there, if one has cried to Him when being destroyed. The “stretching of His hand” to punish after death answers antithetically to the raising “the cry” of prayer in the second clause. Maurer gives another translation which accords with the scope of Job 30:24-31; if it be natural for one in affliction to ask aid, why should it be considered (by the friends) wrong in my case? “Nevertheless does not a man in ruin stretch out his hand” (imploring help, Job 30:20; Lamentations 1:17)? If one be in his calamity (destruction) is there not therefore a “cry” (for aid)? Thus in the parallelism “cry” answers to “stretch — hand”; “in his calamity,” to “in ruin.” The negative of the first clause is to be supplied in the second, as in Job 30:25 (Job 28:17). |
