Giobbe 16:20

20 O miei oratori, o amici miei, L’occhio mio si volge lagrimando a Dio.

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 16:20 In-Context

18 O terra, non nascondere il sangue sparso da me; E se così è, il mio grido non abbia luogo.

19 Eziandio ora, ecco, il mio testimonio è ne’ cieli; Il mio testimonio è ne’ luoghi sovrani.

20 O miei oratori, o amici miei, L’occhio mio si volge lagrimando a Dio.

21 Oh! potesse pur l’uomo piatire con Dio, Come un uomo col suo compagno!

22 Perciocchè i miei brevi anni se ne vanno forniti; Ed io me ne vo per un sentiero, onde non tornerò più.
