Job 23:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 23:1

Then Job answered and said.
] In reply to Eliphaz; for though he does not direct his discourse to him, nor take any notice of his friends; yet, as a proof of his innocence, against his and their accusations and charges, he desires no other than to have his cause laid before God himself, by whom he had no doubt he should be acquitted; and, contrary to their notions, he shows in this chapter, that he, a righteous man, was afflicted by God, according to his unchangeable decrees; and, in the next, that wicked men greatly prosper; so that what he herein says may be considered as a sufficient answer to Eliphaz and his friends; and after which no more is said to him by them, excepting a few words dropped by Bildad.

Job 23:1 In-Context

1 Job prit la parole et dit:

2 Maintenant encore ma plainte est une révolte, Mais la souffrance étouffe mes soupirs.

3 Oh! si je savais où le trouver, Si je pouvais arriver jusqu'à son trône,

4 Je plaiderais ma cause devant lui, Je remplirais ma bouche d'arguments,

5 Je connaîtrais ce qu'il peut avoir à répondre, Je verrais ce qu'il peut avoir à me dire.
