여기 의인의 고난에 대한 위로의 말씀이 있다.
" In the generall, the troubles of the righteous are good for them, and therefore they have that which is promised.
God saith, 'say to the righteous it shall be well with him' when a righteous man is troubled, it is well with him. therefore he hath that, which God promiseth him.
and when a wicked man prospereth, it is ill with him, therefore he hath that. which God thratneth against him.
Outward merc is judgement to wicked men, and their prosperity is their undoing.
therefore, do not think that God varies a tittle from tenour of his word, when he saith, it shall be ill with wicked men, and yet you see them prosper. for it is never worse with them, then when they prosper, then when they think it is best, and when the world thinks so too.
'the prosperity of fools shal destroy them'
and what prosperity is there in destruction?
'the meat in their mouthes, is as a sword in their bowels.' If you saw the Lord formally sending a sword to devoure wicked men, you would think it justice.
the prosperity of wicked men is as sharpe as a sword, that can but destroy, and so doth this.
' It is their judgement, that they are without judgements, and not to be smitten is their scourge'.... " (J.Caryl 욥기주석 중)
의인에게 고난은 하나님께서 약속하신 것을 받는 것일 뿐이라... 담담하게 말한다. 응당 받아야할 선물처럼. 오히려 더할 나위없이 좋은 일(well)이라고까지 말한다.
반대로 외면적인 번영(ourward mercy) 악인에게는 오히려 심판이라 말한다.
악인은 외적 번영을 최선이라 생각한다. 세상이 그렇게 평가하듯이.
특히, 입으로 들어가는 양식이 창자를 찌르는 칼이라(a sword in their bowels)고 한 비유는 섬뜩하다. 외적 번영이 칼처럼 날카롭게 악인을 찌른다.
마지막 말이..오래도록 마음에 남는다.
심판 혹은 믿음의 시련없이 사는 것이 곧 심판이며, 주님의 회초리에 맞지 않는 것이 곧 천벌이고 파멸이란 말...
험난한 이 시대의 강을 건너고 있는 신실한 성도들에게 위로가 되는 말이다.
