SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:26

¿No estáis pensando las palabras para reprender, y echáis al viento palabras perdidas?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 6:26

Verse 26. Do ye imagine to reprove words ] Is it some expressions which in my hurry, and under the pressure of unprecedented affliction, I have uttered, that ye catch at? You can find no flaw in my conduct; would ye make me an OFFENDER for a WORD? Why endeavour to take such advantage of a man who complains in the bitterness of his heart, through despair of life and happiness?

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-30 - In his prosperity Job formed great expectations from his friends, but now was disappointed. This he compares to the failing of brooks i summer. Those who rest their expectations on the creature, will find it fail when it should help them; whereas those who make God their confidence, have help in the time of need, Heb 4:16. Those who make gold their hope, sooner or later will be ashamed of it, and of their confidence in it. It is our wisdom to cease from man. Let us put all our confidence in the Rock of ages, not in broken reeds; in the Fountain of life, not in broken cisterns. The application is very close; "for now ye are nothing." It were well for us, if we had alway such convictions of the vanity of the creature, as we have had, or shall have, on a sick-bed, a death-bed, or in trouble of conscience Job upbraids his friends with their hard usage. Though in want, he desired no more from them than a good look and a good word. It ofte happens that, even when we expect little from man, we have less; but from God, even when we expect much, we have more. Though Job differe from them, yet he was ready to yield as soon as it was made to appea that he was in error. Though Job had been in fault, yet they ought no to have given him such hard usage. His righteousness he holds fast, an will not let it go. He felt that there had not been such iniquity in him as they supposed. But it is best to commit our characters to Hi who keeps our souls; in the great day every upright believer shall have praise of God __________________________________________________________________
