Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped, 1. That when the hand of God is upon us, it becometh us to be sensible of it, and to be humbled under it. 2. That in times of affliction we may express our sorrows by outward gestures, by sorrowful gestures. 3. That when God afflicteth us with sufferings, we ought to afflict ourselves, to humble our souls for sin. 4. That thoughts of blasphemy against God should be cast off, and rejected with the highest indignation. (J. Caryl.)
