This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_17:10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you.
Ver. 10. But as for you all, do you return, &c.] Change your minds, as Mal_3:18, and close with me, lay aside your prejudiced opinions, deliver up yourselves to my discipline, who am ready to teach you things both weighty and necessary, Siquis culturae patientum accommodet aurem.
For I cannot find one wise man amongst you] Nihil hic ex odio dicit, saith an interpreter. This Job speaketh not out of hatred to their persons, but freely uttereth that which he was persuaded to be the truth, and wisheth them a better understanding of the thing controverted between himself and them at this time. Now it is no fault to speak of men as we find them. See 1Co_6:5, "I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you?" and yet, Job_10:15, "I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say."
