Job 6:14 - John Wesley's Notes

Job 6:14

12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?

13 Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?

14 “To^a him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

15 ^aMy brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook,
^bLike the streams of the brooks that pass away,

16 Which are dark because of the ice,
And into which the snow vanishes.

17 When it is warm, they cease to flow;
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

18 The paths of their way turn aside,
They go nowhere and perish.

19 The caravans of ^aTema look,
The travelers of ^bSheba hope for them.

Job 6:14

To him - Heb. to him that is melted or dissolved with affections. But. etc. - But thou hast no pity for thy friend; a plain evidence that thou art guilty of what thou didst charge me with, even of the want of the fear of God. The least which those that are at ease can do for them that are pained, is to pity them, to feel a tender concern for them, and to sympathize with them.
