SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:21

y dijo: Desnudo salí del vientre de mi madre, y desnudo tornaré allá. El SEÑOR dio, y el SEÑOR quitó; sea el nombre del SEÑOR bendito.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 1:21

Verse 21.
Naked came I out of my mother's womb ] I had no earthly possessions when I came into the world; I cannot have less going out of it.

What I have the Lord gave: as it was his free gift, he has a right to resume it when he pleases; and I owe him gratitude for the time he has permitted me to enjoy this gift.

Naked shall I return thither ] Whither? Not to his mother's womb surely; nor does he call the earth his mother in this place. In the first clause of the verse he speaks without a metaphor, and in the latter he speaks in reference to the ground on which he was about to fall. As I came out of my mother's womb destitute of the earthly possessions, so shall I return hm shammah, THERE; i.e., to the earth on which he was now falling. That mother earth was a common expression in different nations, I allow; but I believe no such metaphor was now in the mind of Job.

The Lord gave ] The Chaldee has, "The WORD of the Lord, yyd armym meymera dayai, gave; and the WORD of the Lord and the house of his judgment, have taken away!" WORD is used here personally, as in many other places of all the Targums.

Blessed be the name of the Lord. ] The following is a fine praphrase on the sentiment in this verse: ] "Good when he gives, supremely good; Nor less when he denies; Afflictions from his sovereign hand, Are blessings in disguise." Seeing I have lost my temporal goods, and all my domestic comforts, may God alone be all my portion! The Vulgate, Septuagint, and Covedale, add, The Lord hath done as he pleased.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-22 - Job humbled himself under the hand of God. He reasons from the commo state of human life, which he describes. We brought nothing of thi world's goods into the world, but have them from others; and it is certain we can carry nothing out, but must leave them to others. Job under all his losses, is but reduced to his first state. He is but where he must have been at last, and is only unclothed, or unloade rather, a little sooner than he expected. If we put off our clothe before we go to bed, it is some inconvenience, but it may be the bette borne when it is near bed-time. The same who gave hath taken away. Se how Job looks above instruments, and keeps his eye upon the Firs Cause. Afflictions must not divert us from, but quicken us to religion If in all our troubles we look to the Lord, he will support us. The Lord is righteous. All we have is from his gift; we have forfeited i by sin, and ought not to complain if he takes any part from us Discontent and impatience charge God with folly. Against these Jo carefully watched; and so must we, acknowledging that as God has don right, but we have done wickedly, so God has done wisely, but we have done very foolishly. And may the malice and power of Satan render tha Saviour more precious to our souls, who came to destroy the works of the devil; who, for our salvation, suffered from that enemy far mor than Job suffered, or we can think __________________________________________________________________
