Notes · Haydock (1859, domaine public)Notes : 11
Notes en anglais Commentaire catholique du XIXᵉ siècle du P. George Leo Haydock, tel qu’il a été publié.
Ces notes gardent les polémiques de leur époque : certaines parlent durement du peuple juif ou d'autres chrétiens. L'Église enseigne autrement aujourd'hui. On ne peut imputer au peuple juif la mort du Christ (Nostra Aetate 4 ; Catéchisme 597–598), et les chrétiens des autres communautés sont nos frères dans le Seigneur (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Job 35:2
Ver. 2. God. Eliu being greatly mortified at Job's silence, uses still more provoking expressions, and pretends to refute one of the holy man's assertions, which never escaped his lips, though he had complained that God treated him as an enemy, and with more severity than his sins deserved; (C. vi.
2. C.) or, that his affliction was greater than his sin. C. xxiii. 7. &c. Eliu therefore calumniates him. W.
↑ 2Job 35:3
Ver. 3. Please thee, since thou punishest the guiltless. M. --- If I sin. Job had not said so, but it seemed to follow from his expressions. C. xxi. 7. See C. xxii.
3. Whether sin be committed and punished, or not, what does it profit God? C.
--- His sovereign perfections require that he should not let sin pass unnoticed, and Job never entertained an idea to the contrary.
↑ 3Job 35:4
Ver. 4. Thee. I will shew that you are all wrong. H. --- I will supply what the three have left imperfect. C.
↑ 4Job 35:5
Ver. 5. Thee. Thy sin cannot hurt, nor thy virtue add any thing to God. He is not therefore actuated by resentment, or jealousy, but by justice. C. --- He revenges the injury done by the sinner to himself, v. 8. S. Aug. Conf. iii. 8. ---
The inference is therefore wrong, (C.) that God will not regard the sins or punishment of men, because he thence derives no profit, v. 3. H. ---
The strong sentences of Eliu agree not (or are ill-applied) to the blessed Job.
S. Greg. xxvi. 7. W.
↑ 5Job 35:9
Ver. 9. Out. The wicked shall cry out, through vexation, but still they will not address themselves to God, v. 10. Why are the abandoned, but because He takes cognizance of all?
↑ 9Job 35:10
Ver. 10. Songs. Arab. "thoughts," by means of visions. Chal. "where is the Lord, in whose presence the angels sing canticles of praise in the night?" C. ---
Sept. "who has ordered the night watches;" (H.) the stars, which display the power of God? His servants also are filled with interior joy, even in the midst of afflictions. C.
↑ 10Job 35:11
Ver. 11. Air: and yet the wicked make not use of their understanding, to have recourse to God under distress. C.
↑ 11Job 35:13
Ver. 13. Vain. Heb. "falsehood." He will not relieve the hypocrite, who does not cry to him with sincerity. This conduct shews that God acts with discretion, and hears people according to their deserts. C.
↑ 13Job 35:14
Ver. 14. Before him. Try whether the assertion be true. H. --- Only change thy life, and hope in him, and thou wilt see the good effects. C.
↑ 14Job 35:15
Ver. 15. For. Prot. "But now because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he (marg. Job) knoweth it not, in great extremity." H. --- In this world, God punishes not with rigour. C.
↑ 15Job 35:16
Ver. 16. Knowledge. I have shewn that God punishes or rewards according to our deserts, and is not indifferent about our sins. If Job have not experienced the divine bounty, it is because he has not deserved it. C.
