SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:27
También os arrojáis sobre el huérfano, y hacéis hoyo delante de vuestro amigo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 6:27
Verse 27. Ye overwhelm the fatherless ] Ye see that I am as destitute as the most miserable orphan; would ye overwhelm such a one? and would you dig a pit for your friend-do ye lay wait for me, and endeavour to entangle me in my talk? I believe this to be the spirit of Job's words.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-30 - In his prosperity Job formed great expectations from his friends, but now was disappointed. This he compares to the failing of brooks i summer. Those who rest their expectations on the creature, will find it fail when it should help them; whereas those who make God their confidence, have help in the time of need, Heb 4:16. Those who make gold their hope, sooner or later will be ashamed of it, and of their confidence in it. It is our wisdom to cease from man. Let us put all our confidence in the Rock of ages, not in broken reeds; in the Fountain of life, not in broken cisterns. The application is very close; "for now ye are nothing." It were well for us, if we had alway such convictions of the vanity of the creature, as we have had, or shall have, on a sick-bed, a death-bed, or in trouble of conscience Job upbraids his friends with their hard usage. Though in want, he desired no more from them than a good look and a good word. It ofte happens that, even when we expect little from man, we have less; but from God, even when we expect much, we have more. Though Job differe from them, yet he was ready to yield as soon as it was made to appea that he was in error. Though Job had been in fault, yet they ought no to have given him such hard usage. His righteousness he holds fast, an will not let it go. He felt that there had not been such iniquity in him as they supposed. But it is best to commit our characters to Hi who keeps our souls; in the great day every upright believer shall have praise of God __________________________________________________________________
