Job 23:14 - Adam Clarke

Job 23:14

12 I have not departed from the ^acommandment of His lips;
^bI have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my¹ necessary food.

13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?
And whatever ^aHis soul desires, that He does.

14 For He performs what is ^aappointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.

15 Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.

16 For God ^amade my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;

Job 23:14

For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me - Coverdale translates: - He rewardeth me into my bosome, and many other thinges mo doth he, as he maye by his power. chukki may as well be translated bosom here as in Job 23:12; but probably it may mean a portion, lot, sufficiency: For he hath appointed me my lot; and like these there are multitudes with him. He diversifies human affairs: scarcely any two men have the same lot; nor has the same person the same portion at all times. He has multitudes of resources, expedients, means, etc., which he employs in governing human affairs.
