This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_23:14 For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him.
Ver. 14. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me] He hath performed all my necessaries; so Vatablus rendereth it. It is the word that was used for appointed or necessary food, Job_23:12. Voluntas Dei, necessitas rei, God hath decreed thus to deal with me, and therein I must rest satisfied.
And many such things are with me] I know not but that there may be many more sufferings yet decreed to come upon me in his secret counsel. Fiat voluntas Domini. Godly people, though they know not many times what the Lord will do and how he will deal with them; yet they always know that he is a merciful Father to them, and will order all for the best. This should content them, and keep them from chatting against God; and from nourishing hard conceits of him, or heavy conceits of themselves, as if wicked because afflicted.
