Job 27 |
King James Version
The listed verse explanations of the individual persons have nothing to do with the explanations of the other persons. This also applies to the Bible translations.
Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job protests his sincerity
Job’s friends now suffered him to speak, and he proceeded in a grave and useful manner. Job had confidence in the goodness both of his cause and of his God; and cheerfully committed his cause to him. But Job had not due reverence when he spake of God as taking away his judgment, and vexing his soul. To resolve that our hearts shall not reproach us, while we hold fast our integrity, baffles the designs of the evil spirit.

1Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,2[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;3All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;4My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.5God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.

Job 27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
The hypocrite is without hope
Job looked upon the condition of a hypocrite and a wicked man, to be most miserable. If they gained through life by their profession, and kept up their presumptuous hope till death, what would that avail when God required their souls? The more comfort we find in our religion, the more closely we shall cleave to it. Those who have no delight in God, are easily drawn away by the pleasures, and easily overcome by the crosses of this life.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
This is what Job means, one who is full of iniquity has neither liberty to express himself nor to say what I say now. Rather, he has been taken away and stays silent. On the contrary, I did not experience that, but I speak and answer. But the same does not happen to those who are iniquitous. - "Commentary on Job 27.5b–6"
“I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go.” That means, I will not surrender, nor will the perseverance and resolution of my soul yield, but I will patiently and bravely bear my calamity. - "Commentary on Job 27.6"

Job 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
The miserable end of the wicked
Job’s friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked men before death as proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the consequences of their death would be dreadful. Job undertook to set this matter in a true light. Death to a godly man, is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but, to a wicked man, it is like a storm, that hurries him away to destruction. While he lived, he had the benefit of sparing mercy; but now the day of God’s patience is over, and he will pour out upon him his wrath. When God casts down a man, there is no flying from, nor bearing up under his anger. Those who will not now flee to the arms of Divine grace, which are stretched out to receive them, will not be able to flee from the arms of Divine wrath, which will shortly be stretched out to destroy them. And what is a man profited if he gain the whole world, and thus lose his own soul?

11I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain?13This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.14If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;17He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.18He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.19The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.20Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.22For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.23[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

Job 27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
The miserable end of the wicked
Job’s friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked men before death as proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the consequences of their death would be dreadful. Job undertook to set this matter in a true light. Death to a godly man, is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but, to a wicked man, it is like a storm, that hurries him away to destruction. While he lived, he had the benefit of sparing mercy; but now the day of God’s patience is over, and he will pour out upon him his wrath. When God casts down a man, there is no flying from, nor bearing up under his anger. Those who will not now flee to the arms of Divine grace, which are stretched out to receive them, will not be able to flee from the arms of Divine wrath, which will shortly be stretched out to destroy them. And what is a man profited if he gain the whole world, and thus lose his own soul?
