Jób 9, 1-35

1 Then Job answered and said, 2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? 5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. 11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? 13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. 14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? 15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. 16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? 20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. 21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. 22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? 25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. 26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: 28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? 30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; 31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. 32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

Verš 32

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

Kaz 6:10 - That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Jer 49:19 - Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

Verš 2

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

Ž 143:2 - And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Verš 8

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

Gn 1:6 - And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Verš 10

Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

Jób 5:9 - Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

Ž 72:18 - Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

Ž 77:14 - Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

Ž 86:10 - For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

Rim 11:33 - O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Verš 34

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

Jób 13:20 - Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

Jób 33:7 - Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

Verš 22

This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

Kaz 9:2 - All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

Mal 3:14 - Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

Verš 25

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

Jób 7:6 - My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

Verš 30

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

Jer 2:22 - For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

Job 9,5-7 - Ohromná moc Božia javí sa v zosúvaní horstiev (verš 5), zemetrasení (verš 6) a v zatmeniach slnka (verš 7).

Job 9,8 - Tvorivá moc Božia nepozná obmedzenie a hranice. Rovnako stvoril Boh oblohu a hlboké more. – "Prechádzať sa" znamená niečo do svojej moci prevziať, nad niečím neobmedzene vládnuť.

Job 9,13 - "Potvora" a "voje Potvory" (v pôvodine Rachab a voje Rachaby) sú zasa bájoslovné antické predstavy o mori so všetkými jeho domnelými obludami (pravekými zvermi), ktorými bolo preplnené. Svätopisec užíva tieto všeobecne známe ľudové predstavy, aby tak poukázal na nepremožiteľnú moc Božiu, s ktorou vládne nad bytosťami, ktorých predstava budila v mysliach ľudí úžas.

Job 9,19-20 - Božia moc a prevaha je taká veľká v očiach Jóbových, že sám prichádza k poznaniu svojej bezmocnosti, keď sa chce porovnať s Bohom.

Job 9,22-24 - Na tvrdenie Bildadovo, že Boh je krajne spravodlivý, ktorý len hriešnikov tresce, Jób odpovedá záporne a tvrdí, že Boh bez ohľadu na čnosť a hriešnosť zaobchádza s ľuďmi úplne podľa ľubovôle.

Job 9,33 - "Ruku vložiť na niekoho" znamená nad niekým získať moc a vládu.
