Job Appeals from Men to God
Job
Chapter XVII
1 Job appeals from men to God, 6 The unmerciful dealing of men with the afflicted may astonish, , 9 but not discourage the righteous, 11 His hope is not in life, but in death
Psa 88:3-4My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
1 Sam 1:62 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
Pro 6:13 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
1 Kin 9:7;Job 30:96 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
Psa 24:4;Pro 4:189 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Job 6:2910 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
Job 7:6;Isa 38:1011 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
2 Cor 1:9;Psa 88:4-8;Psa 88:4-816 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
