20 My glory will not fade; the bow will be ever new in my hand.'
20 My glory was fresh
20 my glory fresh with me, and my bow ever new in my hand.'
20 My soul suffused with glory and my body robust until the day I die.'
20 My glory is fresh within me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.'
20 New honors are constantly bestowed on me, and my strength is continually renewed.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 29:20
Commentary on Job 29:18-25
(Read Job 29:18-25)
Being thus honoured and useful, Job had hoped to die in peace and honour, in a good old age. If such an expectation arise from lively faith in the providence and promise of God, it is well; but if from conceit of our own wisdom, and dependence on changeable, earthly things, it is ill grounded, and turns to sin. Every one that has the spirit of wisdom, has not the spirit of government; but Job had both. Yet he had the tenderness of a comforter. This he thought upon with pleasure, when he was himself a mourner. Our Lord Jesus is a King who hates iniquity, and upon whom the blessing of a world ready to perish comes. To Him let us give ear.
