Context of Job 36:13

11They must obey him and agree to serve him. If they do that, they will have everything that they need. They will enjoy all the days that they live. 12But if they refuse to listen to God, they will go to their graves. They will die and they still will not understand what is right. People who turn away from God are always angry. Even when God punishes them, they do not pray for help. 14They die while they are still young. Their lives finish in shame. They live among the male prostitutes who serve false gods. 15But God rescues people who suffer. He uses their troubles to teach them about himself.

Commentaries on Job 36:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13But the hypocrites in heart - חנפי chanphey, the profligates, the impious, those who have neither the form nor the power of godliness. The hypocrite is he who has the form but not the power, though he wishes to be thought as inwardly righteous as he is outwardly correct; and he takes up the profession of religion only to serve secular ends. This is not the meaning of the word in the book of Job, where it frequently occurs. They cry not - "Though he binds…Read the comment

Instead of confessing their sins when they are afflicted, and seeking for pardon: instead of returning to God and becoming truly his friends, they remaian impenitent, unconverted, and are rebellious at heart. They complain of the divine government and plans, and their feelings and conduct make…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-14Verses 5-14 Elihu here shows that God acts as righteous Governor. He is always ready to defend those that are injured. If our eye is ever toward God in duty, his eye will be ever upon us in mercy, and, when we are at the lowest, will not overlook us. God intends, when he afflicts us, to discover past sins to us, and to bring them to our remembrance. Also, to dispose our hearts to be taught: affliction makes people willing to learn, through the grace of…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-1513-15. Same sentiment as Job 36:11, 12, expanded. hypocrites--or, the ungodly [Maurer]; but "hypocrites" is perhaps a distinct class from the openly wicked (Job 36:12). heap up wrath--of God against themselves (Ro 2:5). Umbreit translates, "nourish their wrath against God," instead of "crying" unto Him. This suits well the parallelism and the Hebrew. But the English Version gives a good parallelism, "hypocrites" answering to "cry not" (Job 27:8, 10)…Read the comment
