Job Chapter 03 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Job complains that he was born. (1-10)
Job complaining. (11-19)
He complains of his life. (20-26)

Verses 1-10 For seven days Job's friends sat by him in silence, without offering consolidation: at the same time Satan assaulted his mind to shake his confidence, and to fill him with hard thoughts of God. The permission seems to have extended to this, as well as to torturing the body. Job was an especial type of Christ, whose inward sufferings, both in the garden and on the cross, were the most dreadful; and arose in a great degree from the assaults of Satan in that hour of darkness. These inward trials show the reason of the change that took place in Job's conduct, from entire submission to the will of God, to the impatience which appears here, and in other parts of the book. The believer, who knows that a few drops of this bitter cup are more dreadful than the sharpest outward afflictions, while he is favoured with a sweet sense of the love and presence of God, will not be surprised to find that Job proved a man of like passions with others; but will rejoice that Satan was disappointed, and could not prove him a hypocrite; for though he cursed the day of his birth, he did not curse his God. Job doubtless was afterwards ashamed of these wishes, and we may suppose what must be his judgment of them now he is in everlasting happiness.

  욥3:1 욥의 한탄과 좌절
욥 3:1 그 후에 욥이 입을 열어 자기의 생일을 저주하니라 
욥 3:2 욥이 말을 내어 가로되 
욥 3:3 나의 난 날이 멸망하였었더라면,남아를 배었다 하던 그 밤도 그러하였었더라면, 
욥 3:4 그 날이 캄캄하였었더라면,하나님이 위에서 돌아보지 마셨더라면, 빛도 그 날을 비취지 말았었더라면, 
욥 3:5 유암과 사망의 그늘이 그 날을 자기 것이라 주장하였었더라면,구름이 그 위에 덮였었더라면,낮을 캄캄하게 하는 것이 그 날을 두렵게 하였었더라면 
욥 3:6 그 밤이 심한 어두움에 잡혔었더라면,해의 날 수 가운데 기쁨이 되지 말았었더라면,달의 수에 들지 말았었더라면, 
욥 3:7 그 밤이 적막하였었더라면,그 가운데서 즐거운 소리가 일어나지 말았었더라면, 
욥 3:8 날을 저주하는 자 곧 큰 악어를 격동시키기에 익숙한 자가 그 밤을 저주하였었더라면, 
욥 3:9 그 밤에 새벽별들이 어두웠었더라면,그 밤이 광명을 바랄지라도 얻지 못하며 동틈을 보지 못하였었더라면 좋았을 것을, 
욥 3:10 이는 내 모태의 문을 닫지 아니하였고 내 눈으로 환난을 보지 않도록 하지 아니하였음이로구나 

Verses 11-19 Job complained of those present at his birth, for their tender attention to him. No creature comes into the world so helpless as man. God's power and providence upheld our frail lives, and his pity and patience spared our forfeited lives. Natural affection is put into parents' hearts by God. To desire to die that we may be with Christ, that we may be free from sin, is the effect and evidence of grace; but to desire to die, only that we may be delivered from the troubles of this life, savours of corruption. It is our wisdom and duty to make the best of that which is, be it living or dying; and so to live to the Lord, and die to the Lord, as in both to be his, ( Romans 14:8 ) . Observe how Job describes the repose of the grave; There the wicked cease from troubling. When persecutors die, they can no longer persecute. There the weary are at rest: in the grave they rest from all their labours. And a rest from sin, temptation, conflict, sorrows, and labours, remains in the presence and enjoyment of God. There believers rest in Jesus, nay, as far as we trust in the Lord Jesus and obey him, we here find rest to our souls, though in the world we have tribulation.

욥 3:11 어찌하여 내가 태에서 죽어 나오지 아니하였었던가 어찌하여 내 어미가 낳을 때에 내가 숨지지 아니하였던가 
욥 3:12 어찌하여 무릎이 나를 받았던가 어찌하여 유방이 나로 빨게 하였던가 
욥 3:13 그렇지 아니하였던들 이제는 내가 평안히 누워서 자고 쉬었을 것이니 
욥 3:14 자기를 위하여 거친 터를 수축한 세상 임금들과 의사들과 함께 있었을 것이요 
욥 3:15 혹시 금을 가지며 은으로 집에 채운 목백들과 함께 있었을 것이며 
욥 3:16 또 부지중에 낙태한 아이 같아서 세상에 있지 않았겠고 빛을 보지 못한 아이들 같았었을 것이라 
욥 3:17 거기서는 악한 자가 소요를 그치며 거기서는 곤비한 자가 평강을 얻으며 
욥 3:18 거기서는 갇힌 자가 다 함께 평안히 있어 감독자의 소리를 듣지 아니하며 
욥 3:19 거기서는 작은 자나 큰 자나 일반으로 있고 종이 상전에게서 놓이느니라 

Verses 20-26 Job was like a man who had lost his way, and had no prospect of escape, or hope of better times. But surely he was in an ill frame for death when so unwilling to live. Let it be our constant care to get ready for another world, and then leave it to God to order our removal thither as he thinks fit. Grace teaches us in the midst of life's greatest comforts, to be willing to die, and in the midst of its greatest crosses, to be willing to live. Job's way was hid; he knew not wherefore God contended with him. The afflicted and tempted Christian knows something of this heaviness; when he has been looking too much at the things that are seen, some chastisement of his heavenly Father will give him a taste of this disgust of life, and a glance at these dark regions of despair. Nor is there any help until God shall restore to him the joys of his salvation. Blessed be God, the earth is full of his goodness, though full of man's wickedness. This life may be made tolerable if we attend to our duty. We look for eternal mercy, if willing to receive Christ as our Saviour.

 


욥 3:20 어찌하여 곤고한 자에게 빛을 주셨으며 마음이 번뇌한 자에게 생명을 주셨는고 

욥 3:21 이러한 자는 죽기를 바라도 오지 아니하니 그것을 구하기를 땅을 파고 숨긴 보배를 찾음보다 더하다가 

욥 3:22 무덤을 찾아 얻으면 심히 기뻐하고 즐거워하나니 

욥 3:23 하나님에게 둘러싸여 길이 아득한 사람에게 어찌하여 빛을 주셨는고 

욥 3:24 나는 먹기 전에 탄식이 나며 나의 앓는 소리는 물이 쏟아지는 것같구나 

욥 3:25 나의 두려워하는 그것이 내게 임하고 나의 무서워하는 그것이 내 몸에 미쳤구나 

욥 3:26 평강도 없고 안온도 없고 안식도 없고 고난만 임하였구나
