Job 28:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

Job's discourse is still prosecuted through this Chapter. The man of Uz makes many striking observations in the display of the divine glory.

Job 28:1

(1) В¶ Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.

If I do not greatly mistake, here is much of JESUS in this chapter, and under this idea I would bespeak the Reader's attention with me to be searching for JESUS, as for more than veins of silver or the place of fine gold. And conscious that after all our search, unless that HOLY SPIRIT which guided the eastern sages to JESUS at his birth, go before us, and point, as the star did, to the very spot where JESUS was, we shall make no discovery of him; I would look up at the opening of each chapter, and pray the HOLY SPIRIT, whose gracious office it is to lead to JESUS, that he would direct both the hand that writes, and the eye that reads, and the ear that hears, that we may have the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, who is the sum and substance of all the Bible, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, one with the FATHER, over all GOD, blessed forever. Amen.
