Commentaries on Job 4:14
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14Fear came upon me - Margin, “Met me.” The Chaldee Paraphrase renders this, “a tempest,” זיקא . The Septuagint, ́ frikē - “shuddering,” or “horror.” The sense is, that he became greatly alarmed at the vision. Which made all my bones to shake - Margin, as in Hebrew, the multitude of my bones. A similar image is employed by Virgil, Obstupuere auimis, gelidusque per ima cucurrit Ossa tremor; Aeneid ii. 120. “A cold tremor ran through all their bones.”Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-21Verses 12-21 Eliphaz relates a vision. When we are communing with our own hearts, and are still, Psa 4:4, then is a time for the Holy Spirit to commune with us. This vision put him into very great fear. Ever since man sinned, it has been terrible to him to receive communications from Heaven, conscious that he can expect no good tidings thence. Sinful man! shall he pretend to be more just, more pure, than God, who being his Maker, is his Lord and Owner?…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14Fear often occurs in God's presence (Genesis 15:12; Daniel 8:17–18; 10:8–10). But God tells his people not to fear (Genesis 15:1; 26:24; Isaiah 40:9; 44:8). Eliphaz's bones shook like those of a prophet with terrible news to share (Jeremiah 23:9; Habakkuk 3:16).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-211. Eliphaz--the mildest of Job's three accusers. The greatness of Job's calamities, his complaints against God, and the opinion that calamities are proofs of guilt, led the three to doubt Job's integrity.Read the comment
