Commentaries and Concordances
GSB: 29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech {o} dropped upon them.
(o) That is, was pleasant to them.
WES: 29:22 Dropped - As the rain, which when it comes down gently upon the earth, is most acceptable and beneficial to it.
MHC: 29:18-25 Being thus honoured and useful, Job had hoped to die in peace and honour, in a good old age. If such an expectation arise from lively faith in the providence and promise of God, it is well; but if from conceit of our own wisdom, and dependence on changeable, earthly things, it is ill grounded, and turns to sin. Every one that has the spirit of wisdom, has not the spirit of government; but Job had both. Yet he had the tenderness of a comforter. This he thought upon with pleasure, when he was himself a mourner. Our Lord Jesus is a King who hates iniquity, and upon whom the blessing of a world ready to perish comes. To Him let us give ear.
