Chapter 11, On Cleaving to God,
Albertus
Magnus, c. 1275. |
|
Rashi's Commentary, c. 1075. chabad.org. |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Thus he speaks in
respect for the brevity of man's life, which passes without hope of
returning: in consideration of which he desires God to have compassion
on him." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "While we are living,
every day, like the shuttle, leaves a thread behind: many weave the
spider's web, which will fail, ch. 8:14. But if, while we live, we live
unto the Lord, in works of faith and labours of love, we shall have the
benefit, for every man shall reap as he sowed, and wear as he wove." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "If men will not hear
us, God will: if men cannot help us, he can: for his arm is not
shortened, neither is his ear heavy." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "He is now in a softer
mood; a beam from former days of prosperity falling upon memory and the
thought of the unseen world, where one is seen no more (Job
7:8), drew from him an expression of regret at leaving this world of
light (Ec
11:7); so Hezekiah (Isa
38:11). Grace rises above nature (2Co
5:8)." |

fidelity? Have you ever asked the question "Why me, God?" What happened?
What helped you to return to God or remain faithful, like Job?" |
