Jó 30
Julian of Eclanum · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Jó 30:1
"But now they make sport of me, those who are younger than I." These words testify to the authority, power and grace that, as he has asserted, he used to own in his previous days. The more favorable his state of former happiness had been, the more bitter now it makes his feeling of pain after turning into misfortune."Whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock." He now refers to an evidence of extreme poverty, through which also the vileness of his condition appears, not only the fact that he lives on charity but also that he is appointed to take care of the food of dogs. — EXPOSITION ON THE BOOK OF JOB 30:1
Jó 30:14-15
After those things that used to or could move my affections in themselves have dispersed, that is, after I have been deprived of both comforts and occupations, I know that no hope is left for me through which I may be supported. "And my welfare has passed like clouds." He said that his welfare has passed—not his life—which was placed in the comforts of his home and in his body for his safety. — EXPOSITION ON THE BOOK OF JOB 30:15
