SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:23

Al hombre que no sabe por donde vaya, y que Dios lo encerró.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 3:23

Verse 23. To a man whose way is hid ] Who knows not what is before him in either world, but is full of fears and trembling concerning both. God hath hedged in? ] Leaving him no way to escape; and not permitting him to see one step before him. There is an exact parallel to this passage in Lam. iii. 7, i10: He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone. Mr. Good translates the verse thus: To the man whose path is broken up, and whose futurity God hath overwhelmed. But I cannot see any necessity for departing from the common text, which gives both an easy and a natural sense.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-26 - Job was like a man who had lost his way, and had no prospect of escape or hope of better times. But surely he was in an ill frame for deat when so unwilling to live. Let it be our constant care to get ready for another world, and then leave it to God to order our removal thither a he thinks fit. Grace teaches us in the midst of life's greates comforts, to be willing to die, and in the midst of its greates crosses, to be willing to live. Job's way was hid; he knew no wherefore God contended with him. The afflicted and tempted Christia knows something of this heaviness; when he has been looking too much a the things that are seen, some chastisement of his heavenly Father wil give him a taste of this disgust of life, and a glance at these dar regions of despair. Nor is there any help until God shall restore to him the joys of his salvation. Blessed be God, the earth is full of his goodness, though full of man's wickedness. This life may be mad tolerable if we attend to our duty. We look for eternal mercy, i willing to receive Christ as our Saviour __________________________________________________________________
