Jesus respondeu: É aquele a quem eu der o pão embebido. Em seguida, molhou o pão e deu-o a Judas, filho de Simão Iscariotes.
Jó 13:26

Comentário de Albert Barnes

For thou writest bitter things against me – Charges or accusations of severity. We use the word “bitter” now in a somewhat similar sense. We speak of bitter sorrow, bitter cold, etc. The language here is all taken from courts of justice, and Job is carrying cut the train of thought on which he had entered in regard to a trial before God. He says that the accusations which God had brought against him were of a bitter and severe character; charging him with aggravated offences, and recalling the sins of his youth, and holding him responsible for them. Rosenmuller remarks that the word “write” here is a judicial term, referring to the custom of writing the sentence of a person condemned (as in Psalm 149:9 ; Jeremiah 22:30 ); that is, decreeing the punishment. So the Greeks used the expression ??a´fes?a? d?´??? graphesthai dike¯n meaning to declare a judicial sentence. So the Arabs use the word “kitab,” writing, to denote a judicial sentence.

And makest me to possess – Hebrew Causest me to inherit – ????????? veto^ri^yshe¯ni^y He was heir to them; or they were now his as a possession or an inheritance. The Vulgate renders it, consumere me vis , etc. “thou wishest to consume me with the sins of my youth.” The Septuagint, “and thou dost charge against me” – pe??e´f??a? perithe¯kas The iniquities of my youth – The offences which I committed when young. He complains now that God recalled all those offences; that he went into days that were past, and raked up what Job had forgotten; that, not satisfied with charging on him what he had done as a man, he went back and collected all that could be found in the days when he was under the influence of youthful passions, and when, like other young men, he might have gone astray. But why should he not do it? What impropriety could there be in God in thus recalling the memory of long-forgotten sins, and causing the results to meet him now that he was a man? We may remark here,

(1) That this is often done. The sins and follies of youth seem often to be passed over or to be unnoticed by God. Long intervals of time or long tracts of land or ocean may intervene between the time when sin was committed in youth, and when it shall be punished in age. The man may himself have forgotten it, and after a youth of dissipation and folly he may perhaps have a life of prosperity for many years. But those sins are not forgotten by God. Far on in life the results of early dissipation, licentiousness, folly, will meet the offender, and overwhelm him in disgrace or calamity.

(2) God has power to recall all the offences of early life. He has access to the soul. He knows all its secret springs. With infinite ease he can reach the memory of a long-forgotten deed of guilt; and he can overwhelm the mind with the recollection of crimes that have not been thought of for years. He can fix the attention with painful intensity on some slight deed of past criminality; or he can recall forgotten sins in groups; or he can make the remembrance of one sin suggest a host of others. No man who has passed a guilty youth can be certain that his mind will not be overwhelmed with painful recollections, and however calm and secure he may now be, he may in a moment be harassed with the consciousness of deep criminality, and with most gloomy apprehensions of the wrath to come.

(3) A young man should be pure. He has otherwise no security of respectability in future life, or of pleasant recollections of the past, should he reach old age. He who spends his early days in dissipation must expect to reap the fruits of it in future years. Those sins will meet him in his way, and most probably at an unexpected moment, and in an unexpected place. If he ever becomes a good man, he will have many an hour of bitter and painful regret at the follies of his early life; if he does not, he will meet the accumulated results of his sin on the bed of death and in hell. Somewhere, and somehow, every instance of folly is to be remembered hereafter, and will be remembered with sighs and tears.

(4) God rules among people, There is a moral government on the earth. Of this there is no more certain proof than in this fact. The power of summoning up past sins to the recollection; of recalling those that have been forgotten by the offender himself, and of placing them in black array before the guilty man; and of causing them to seize with a giant’s grasp upon the soul, is a power such as God alone can wield, and shows at once that there is a God, and that he rules in the hearts of people. E

(5) If God holds this power now, he will hold it in the world to come. The forgotten sins of youth, and the sins of age, will be remembered then. The sinner walks over a volcano. It may be now calm and still. Its base may be crowned with verdure, its sides with orchards and vineyards; and far up its heights the tall tree may wave, and on its summit the snow may lie undisturbed. But at any moment that mountain may heave, and the burning torrent spread desolation every where. So with the sinner. He knows not how soon the day of vengeance may come; how soon he may be made to inherit the sins of his youth.

Comentário de Thomas Coke

Jó 13:26 . Tu escreves coisas amargas contra mim – O autor da Divina Legação, zeloso em apoiar seu esquema alegórico, sempre deseja, para esse fim, apontar inconsistências neste livro. “O grande ponto que Jó insiste (diz que) ao longo de todo o livro é sua inocência; e, para nossa surpresa, o ouvimos expor assim a Deus: Escreve coisas amargas contra mim e faz com que eu possua as iniquidades de Deus. minha juventude. Isso não pode ser explicado senão pela compreensão do povo judeu: “- mas por que? Não pode o padrinho que já viveu encontrar algo para condenar nas leviandades e pecados de sua juventude, ou quando era menino ou criança? para a palavra hebraica ????? neuraii, às vezes denota um estado de infância. Veja Schultens e Gray. Certamente, podemos permitir que ele tenha respeitado alguns pecados reais de sua juventude, sem prejudicar sua argumentação, extraídos daquela retidão atual de coração e vida que ele agora alega; e praticou por muito tempo; pois, a propósito, não é sua inocência, estritamente falando, que Jó insiste, mas sua integridade. Peters.

Comentário de Joseph Benson

Jó 13:26 . Pois tu escreves – Ou seja, tu designas; coisas amargas contra mim – Uma sentença terrível ou punições mais graves. É uma metáfora tirada do costume de príncipes ou juízes, que antigamente escrevia suas sentenças, ou decretos, sobre pessoas ou causas trazidas à sua frente. E me fez possuir as iniqüidades da minha juventude – Dost agora, imediatamente, traz sobre mim o castigo de todos os meus pecados, exceto os da minha juventude, que foram cometidos antes que eu soubesse o que fazia.

Comentário de Adam Clarke

Tu escreveste coisas amargas contra mim – A acusação está cheia de acusações amargas ou graves, que, se provadas, me levariam a um castigo amargo.

As iniqüidades da minha juventude – As levidades e indiscrições da minha juventude, eu reconheço; mas é este o fundamento sobre o qual acusar um homem cuja integridade é intocável?

Comentário de John Wesley

Pois tu escreveste coisas amargas contra mim e me fazes possuir as iniqüidades da minha juventude.

Writest – Você indica ou inflige. Uma metáfora de príncipes ou juízes, que antigamente escreviam suas sentenças.
