Job 21:34 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?

Ver. 34. How then comfort ye me in vain] Since ye apply nothing rightly to me, nor affirm nothing rightly of me, but, instead of comforting me, which you came for, ye trouble me. And such are all those consolatiunculae, creaturulae (as Luther finely phraseth it), petty creature comforts, waterish and empty businesses; an unsubstantial substance, as one saith of the bulrush.

Seeing in your answers remaineth falsehood?] Or prevarication, or double dealing; foul mistakes, and little less than malice.

Job 21:34

34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
