| Commentaries and Concordances |
| GSB: | 21:31 Who shall declare his way {s} to his face? and who shall repay him [what] he hath done?
(s) Though men flatter him, and no one dares to reprove him in this world, yet death is a token that he will bring him to an account. |
| WES: | 21:31 Declare - His power and splendor are so great, that scarce any man dare reprove him. |
| MHC: | 21:27-34 Job opposes the opinion of his friends, That the wicked are sure to fall into visible and remarkable ruin, and none but the wicked; upon which principle they condemned Job as wicked. Turn to whom you will, you will find that the punishment of sinners is designed more for the other world than for this, Jude 1:14,15. The sinner is here supposed to live in a great deal of power. The sinner shall have a splendid funeral: a poor thing for any man to be proud of the prospect of. He shall have a stately monument. And a valley with springs of water to keep the turf green, was accounted an honourable burial place among eastern people; but such things are vain distinctions. Death closes his prosperity. It is but a poor encouragement to die, that others have died before us. That which makes a man die with true courage, is, with faith to remember that Jesus Christ died and was laid in the grave, not only before us, but for us. That He hath gone before us, and died for us, who is alive and liveth for us, is true consolation in the hour of death. |
