Then Job answered,
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Then Job answered,
Then Job answered:
And Job answered and said,
Then Job answered and said,
And Job made answer and said,
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 1–5
Job upbraids his friends with the good opinion they had of their own wisdom compared with his. We are apt to call reproofs reproaches, and to think ourselves mocked when advised and admonished; this is our folly; yet here was colour for this charge. He suspected the true cause of their conduct to be, that they despised him who was fallen into poverty. It is the way of the world. Even the just, upright man, if he comes under a cloud, is looked upon with contempt.
