Jó 16:20

20 Os meus amigos zombam de mim; mas os meus olhos se desfazem em lágrimas diante de Deus,

Jó 16:20 Meaning and Commentary

Job 16:20

My friends scorn me
Not that they scoffed at his afflictions and calamities, and at his diseases and disorders, that would have been very brutish and inhuman, but at his words, the arguments and reasons he made use of to defend himself with, see ( Job 12:4 ) ;

[but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto God;
in great plenty, because of his very great sorrows and distresses, both inward and outward; and it was his mercy, that when his friends slighted and neglected him, yea, bore hard upon him, and mocked at him, that he had a God to go to, and pour out not only his tears, but all his complaints, and even his very soul unto him, from whom he might hope for relief; and what he said, when he did this, is as follows.

Jó 16:20 In-Context

18 ó terra, não cubras o meu sangue, e não haja lugar em que seja abafado o meu clamor!

19 Eis que agora mesmo a minha testemunha está no céu, e o meu fiador nas alturas.

20 Os meus amigos zombam de mim; mas os meus olhos se desfazem em lágrimas diante de Deus,

21 para que ele defenda o direito que o homem tem diante de Deus e o que o filho do homem tem perante, o seu proximo.

22 Pois quando houver decorrido poucos anos, eu seguirei o caminho por onde não tornarei.
