Job 1:10 Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side?… 1. That the protection God gives to His people and servants is the vexation of Satan, and of all his instruments. 2. That Satan, the father of lies, sometimes speaks truth for his own advantage. 3. That the people and servants of God dwell in the midst of enemies, in the midst of dangers. 4. That God Himself doth undertake the guarding and protecting of His people. 5. You see how far the hedge goeth, not only about his person and household, but about all that he hath. His meanest thing was hedged about. (J. Caryl.) Parallel Verses KJV: Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. |
