Job 4:6
_ _ Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, etc. — Does thy fear, thy confidence, come to nothing? Does it come only to this, that thou faintest now? Rather, by transposition, “Is not thy fear (of God) thy hope? and the uprightness of thy ways thy confidence? If so, bethink thee, who ever perished being innocent?” [Umbreit]. But Luke 13:2, Luke 13:3 shows that, though there is a retributive divine government even in this life, yet we cannot judge by the mere outward appearance. “One event is outwardly to the righteous and to the wicked” (Ecclesiastes 9:2); but yet we must take it on trust, that God deals righteously even now (Psalms 37:25; Isaiah 33:16). Judge not by a part, but by the whole of a godly man’s life, and by his end, even here (James 5:11). The one and the same outward event is altogether a different thing in its inward bearings on the godly and on the ungodly even here. Even prosperity, much more calamity, is a punishment to the wicked (Proverbs 1:32). Trials are chastisements for their good (to the righteous) (Psalms 119:67, Psalms 119:71, Psalms 119:75). See on Introduction on the Design of this Book. |
