Giobbe 6:12

Listen to Giobbe 6:12
12 La mia forza è essa forza di pietra? e la mia carne, carne di rame?

Giobbe 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 6:12

[Is] my strength the strength of stones?
&c.] Is it like such especially which are foundation and corner stones that support a building? or like a stone pillar, that will bear a prodigious weight? no, it is not:

or [is] my flesh of brass?
is it made of brass? or is it like to brass for hardness, or for sustaining any weight laid on it? it is not; and, therefore, it cannot bear up under the ponderous load of afflictions on it, but must sink and fail; it is but flesh and blood, and that flesh like grass, weak and feeble; and, therefore, death is better than life laden with such an insupportable burden.

Giobbe 6:12 In-Context

10 Sarebbe questo un conforto per me, esulterei nei dolori ch’egli non mi risparmia; giacché non ho rinnegato le parole del Santo.
11 Che è mai la mia forza perch’io speri ancora? Che fine m’aspetta perch’io sia paziente?
12 La mia forza è essa forza di pietra? e la mia carne, carne di rame?
13 Non son io ridotto senza energia, e non m’è forse tolta ogni speranza di guarire?
14 Pietà deve l’amico a colui che soccombe, quand’anche abbandoni il timor dell’Onnipotente.
