Jó 30

John Chrysostom · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Jó 30:12-13

You see what especially afflicts him is to be mocked by those who reproach him for the evil actions that they commit. Some "thieves," he says, some wicked, some criminals, some robbers have made us the subject of their proposals and conversations. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 30:12A-13

Jó 30:28

The excess of misfortunes that have befallen him force him to groan and to wail. Even if I wanted it, I could not stay silent, he says. "I stand up in the assembly and cry for help" without being ashamed before any of those present and without blushing before the multitude of the assembly. This attitude is due to the greatness of his misfortunes. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 30:26-29

Jó 30:29

I have fallen, he says, into the animal condition of birds. I have not recognized my real nature anymore; my situation is not better than theirs. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 30:26-29
