This comfort is rooted in his faith and integrity. In the context of the ancient Near Eastern culture, where suffering was often seen as a sign of divine displeasure, Job's comfort is countercultural. His comfort is not in the absence of pain but in his relationship with God. This reflects the biblical theme that true comfort comes from God, as seen in <a href="/2_corinthians/1-3.htm">2 Corinthians 1:3-4</a>, where God is described as the "God of all comfort."<p><b>and joy through unrelenting pain</b><br>Job's joy amidst suffering highlights a deep spiritual truth that joy is not dependent on circumstances. This echoes <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2</a>, which encourages believers to consider it pure joy when facing trials. The phrase "unrelenting pain" underscores the intensity and persistence of Job's suffering, which is a central theme of the book. Historically, Job's experience reflects the human condition of enduring suffering and seeking meaning, a theme explored throughout Scripture.<p><b>that I have not denied the words of the Holy One</b><br>Job's steadfastness in holding to God's words is a testament to his faithfulness. In the biblical narrative, the "Holy One" refers to God, emphasizing His purity and separateness. Job's refusal to deny God's words is significant, as it shows his commitment to God's truth despite his circumstances. This mirrors the New Testament call to hold fast to the faith, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/10-23.htm">Hebrews 10:23</a>. Job's integrity foreshadows the ultimate faithfulness of Jesus Christ, who perfectly upheld God's word even unto death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

First, the comfort that the end was come, and that he would be spared further sufferings; and further, the still greater comfort that he had endured to the end, and not. denied nor renounced his trust in religion and in all the "words of the Holy One." Professor Lee sees here "the recognition of a future life, expressed in words as plain and obvious as possible" ('Book of the Patriarch Job,' p. 223). But to us it seems that, if the idea is present at all, it is covered up, latent; only so far implied as it may be said to be implied in all willingness to die, since it may be argued that even the most wretched life possible would be preferred by any man to no life at all, and so that when men are content to die they <span class="accented">must</span> be expecting, whether consciously or not, a life beyond the grave, and be sustained by that expectation<span class="cmt_word">.

For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One</span>; rather, <span class="accented">for I have not denied</span> or <span class="accented">renounced.</span> It would be a part of Job's satisfaction in dying that he had not let go his integrity. Rather he had held it fast, and not renounced or abandoned his trust in God and in religion. "The words of the Holy One are the commands of God, however made known to man" (Canon Cook). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/6-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">It still</span><br /><span class="heb">ע֨וֹד ׀</span> <span class="translit">(‘ō·wḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> </span><span class="str2">Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more</span><br /><br /><span class="word">brings</span><br /><span class="heb">וּ֥תְהִי</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ṯə·hî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
