SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:12

¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? O mi carne, ¿es de acero?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 6:12

Verse 12. Is my strength the strength of
stones? I am neither a rock, nor is my flesh brass, that I can endure all these calamities. This is a proverbial saying, and exists in all countries. Cicero says, Non enim est e saxo sculptus, aut e ROBORE dolatus HOMO; habet corpus, habet animum; movetur mente, movetur sensibus. "For man is not chiselled out of the rock, nor hewn out of the oak; he has a body, and he has a soul; the one is actuated by intellect, the other by the senses." Quaest. Acad. iv. 31. So Homer, where he represents Apollo urging the Trojans to attack the Greeks: - nemeshse d apollwn, pergamou ekkatidwn trwessi de keklet ausav ornusq, ippodamoi trwev, mhd eikete carmhv argeioiv epei ou sfiliqov crwv, oude sidhrov, calkon anascesqai tamesicroa ballomenoisin.

ILLIAD, lib. iv., ver. 507.

But Phoebus now from Ilion's towering height Shines forth reveal'd, and animates the fight.

Trojans, be bold, and force to force oppose; Your foaming steeds urge headlong on the foes! Nor are their bodies ROCKS, nor ribb'd with STEEL; Your weapons enter, and your strokes they feel. POPE.

These are almost the same expressions as those in Job.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-13 - Job had desired death as the happy end of his miseries. For this Eliphaz had reproved him, but he asks for it again with more vehemenc than before. It was very rash to speak thus of God destroying him. Who for one hour, could endure the wrath of the Almighty, if he let loos his hand against him? Let us rather say with David, O spare me little. Job grounds his comfort upon the testimony of his conscience that he had been, in some degree, serviceable to the glory of God Those who have grace in them, who have the evidence of it, and have is in exercise, have wisdom in them, which will be their help in the wors of times.
