Commentaries on Job 33:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19IV. By Afflictions He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, etc. - Afflictions are a fourth means which God makes use of to awaken and convert sinners. In the hand of God these were the cause of the salvation of David, as himself testifies: Before I was afflicted, I went astray, Psalm 119:67, Psalm 119:71, Psalm 119:75. The multitude of his bones - By such diseases, especially those of a rheumatic kind, when to the patient's apprehension every bone is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19He is chastened also with pain - As another means of checking and restraining him from the commission of sin.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-28Verses 19-28 Job complained of his diseases, and judged by them that God was angry with him; his friends did so too: but Elihu shows that God often afflicts the body for good to the soul.

The new thought suggested by Elihu is that affliction is disciplinary (Job 36:10); for the good of the godly. multitude--so the Margin, Hebrew (Keri). Better with the text (Chetib), "And with the perpetual (strong) contest of his bones"; the never-resting fever in his bones (Psa 38:3) [Umbreit].Read the comment
