Commentary

Commentary on Job 1:22

Theological / Devotional

Nor charged God foolishly. The expression in Hebrew is idiomatic. Literally, “did not ascribe to God tiphlah” Tiphlah seems to refer to that which is out of harmony with the character of God. In his reaction to the initial tragedy, Job said nothing he need later regret; he did not stoop to self-pity or melodramatic mourning; he kept his head when lesser men would have disintegrated under the staggering blows.
