6 When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body.
6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
6 When I remember, I am dismayed, and shuddering seizes my flesh.
6 When I look back, I go into shock, my body is racked with spasms.
6 Even when I remember I am terrified, And trembling takes hold of my flesh.
6 When I think about what I am saying, I shudder. My body trembles.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 21:6
Commentary on Job 21:1-6
(Read Job 21:1-6)
Job comes closer to the question in dispute. This was, Whether outward prosperity is a mark of the true church, and the true members of it, so that ruin of a man's prosperity proves him a hypocrite? This they asserted, but Job denied. If they looked upon him, they might see misery enough to demand compassion, and their bold interpretations of this mysterious providence should be turned into silent wonder.
