SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:22
¿Por qué me perseguís como Dios, y no os saciáis de mis carnes?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 19:22
Verse 22. Why do ye persecute me as God ] Are not the afflictions which God sends enough? Do ye not see that I have as much as I can bear? When the papists were burning Dr. Taylor at Oxford, while wrapped in the flames, one of the true sons of the Church took a stick out of the faggots, and threw it at his head, and split open his face. To whom he calmly said, Man, why this wrong? Do not I suffer enough? And are not satisfied with my flesh? - Will ye persecute my soul, while God is persecuting my body? Is it not enough that my body is destroyed? Why then labour to torment my mind?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-22 - How doleful are Job's complaints! What is the fire of hell but the wrath of God! Seared consciences will feel it hereafter, but do no fear it now: enlightened consciences fear it now, but shall not feel it hereafter. It is a very common mistake to think that those whom God afflicts he treats as his enemies. Every creature is that to us whic God makes it to be; yet this does not excuse Job's relations an friends. How uncertain is the friendship of men! but if God be ou Friend, he will not fail us in time of need. What little reason we have to indulge the body, which, after all our care, is consumed by disease it has in itself. Job recommends himself to the compassion of his friends, and justly blames their harshness. It is very distressing to one who loves God, to be bereaved at once of outward comfort and of inward consolation; yet if this, and more, come upon a believer, it does not weaken the proof of his being a child of God and heir of glory.
