SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:20
¶ Entonces Job se levantó, y rasgó su manto, y trasquiló su cabeza, y cayendo en tierra adoró;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 1:20
Verse 20. Rent his mantle ] Tearing the garments, shaving or pulling off the hair of the head, throwing dust or ashes on the head, and fitting on the ground, were acts by which immoderate grief was expressed. Job must have felt the bitterness of anguish when he was told that, in addition to the loss of all his property, he was deprived of his ten children by a violent death. Had he not felt this most poignantly, he would have been unworthy of the name of man. Worshipped ] Prostrated himself; lay all along upon the ground, with his face in the dust.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-22 - Job humbled himself under the hand of God. He reasons from the commo state of human life, which he describes. We brought nothing of thi world's goods into the world, but have them from others; and it is certain we can carry nothing out, but must leave them to others. Job under all his losses, is but reduced to his first state. He is but where he must have been at last, and is only unclothed, or unloade rather, a little sooner than he expected. If we put off our clothe before we go to bed, it is some inconvenience, but it may be the bette borne when it is near bed-time. The same who gave hath taken away. Se how Job looks above instruments, and keeps his eye upon the Firs Cause. Afflictions must not divert us from, but quicken us to religion If in all our troubles we look to the Lord, he will support us. The Lord is righteous. All we have is from his gift; we have forfeited i by sin, and ought not to complain if he takes any part from us Discontent and impatience charge God with folly. Against these Jo carefully watched; and so must we, acknowledging that as God has don right, but we have done wickedly, so God has done wisely, but we have done very foolishly. And may the malice and power of Satan render tha Saviour more precious to our souls, who came to destroy the works of the devil; who, for our salvation, suffered from that enemy far mor than Job suffered, or we can think __________________________________________________________________
