He believes the resurrection then understand that it is God who has wronged me In this phrase, Job expresses his belief that his suffering is directly caused by God. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine retribution, where suffering was often seen as a result of divine displeasure. Job's statement is a bold assertion of his innocence, as he feels unjustly treated by God. This sentiment is echoed in other parts of the book, where Job maintains his righteousness despite his friends' accusations (Job 27:2). Theologically, this challenges the simplistic view of retributive justice and invites readers to explore the complexities of suffering and divine sovereignty. and drawn His net around me Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Understanding SufferingJob's declaration that God has wronged him reflects a deep struggle to comprehend his suffering. Believers are encouraged to bring their honest questions and emotions to God, trusting in His ultimate justice and goodness. The Role of Faith in Trials Job's faith is tested, yet he continues to seek God. In times of trial, believers are called to hold onto their faith, even when circumstances seem inexplicable. God's Sovereignty Job's situation reminds us of God's sovereignty over all circumstances. While we may not understand His ways, we can trust that He is in control and has a purpose for our lives. Community and Support Job's friends initially come to support him, but their misguided counsel highlights the importance of offering compassionate and empathetic support to those who are suffering. Perseverance and Hope The account of Job encourages believers to persevere through trials, holding onto hope and the promise of God's eventual restoration and blessing.(6) Know now that God hath overthrown me.--Bildad had spoken a great deal about the wicked being snared by his own sin, and now Job, without actually quoting his words--for he uses a word for net that Bildad had not used--speaks to their substance. It is God who has taken him in His net and compassed him about therewith. This is the assertion he has made before (Job 16:7; Job 13:27, &c.).Verse 6. - Know now that God hath overthrown me; or, perverted me - "subverted me in my cause" (see Lamentations 3:6). And hath compassed me with his net. Professor Lee thinks that the net, or rather noose, intended by the rare word מצוּד is the lasso' which was certainly employed in war (Herod., 7:85), and probably also in hunting, from ancient times in the East. Bildad had insinuated that Job had fallen into his own snare (Job 18:7-9); Job replies that the snare in which he is taken is from God. Parallel Commentaries ...
