Job 36:13

“But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath, etc.] Or “and the hypocrites” f1239; for these are the same with the disobedient in (<183612>Job 36:12); who seem to be righteous, but are not; pretend to what they have not; have a double heart, (<191202>Psalm 12:2), or say one thing with their mouth, and mean another thing in their hearts; or with their mouths draw nigh to God, but their hearts are far from him, (<401508>Matthew 15:8); and so hypocrites, at least outwardly righteous before men, but inwardly full of wickedness, as the Pharisees were, whom our Lord often calls hypocrites, (<401507>Matthew 15:7 16:3 22:18): these “put” or add wrath, as Aben Ezra interprets it; they increase the wrath…”

“Same sentiment as Job 36:11-12, expanded. hypocrites--or, the ungodly [MAURER]; but "hypocrites" is perhaps a distinct class from the openly wicked (Job 36:12). heap up wrath--of God against themselves (Rom 2:5). UMBREIT translates, "nourish their wrath against God," instead of "crying" unto Him. This suits well the parallelism and the Hebrew. But the English Version gives a good parallelism, "hypocrites" answering to "cry not" (Job 27:8, Job 27:10); "heap up wrath" against themselves, to "He bindeth them" with fetters of affliction (Job 36:8).”

“But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath - By their continued impiety they lay the foundation for increasing and multiplied expressions of the divine displeasure. Instead of confessing their sins when they are afflicted, and seeking for pardon: instead of returning to God and becoming truly his friends, they remaian impenitent, unconverted, and are rebellious at heart. They complain of the divine government and plans, and their feelings and conduct make it necessary for God further to interpose, until they are finally cut off and consigned to ruin. Elihu had stated what was the effect in two classes of persons who were afflicted. There were those who were truly pious, and who would receive…”

“Cry not - Unto God for help. Bindeth - With the cords of affliction. Job 36:14”

“heap: Num 32:14; Ch2 28:13, Ch2 28:22; Rom 2:5 they: Job 15:4, Job 27:8-10, Job 35:9, Job 35:10; Mat 22:12, Mat 22:13 bindeth: Job 36:8; Psa 107:10 Job 36:14”

“13 Yet the hypocrites in heart cherish wrath, They cry not when He hath chained them. 14 Thus their soul dieth in the vigour of youth, And their life is like that of the unclean. 15 Yet He delivereth the sufferer by his affliction, And openeth their ear by oppression. He who is angry with God in his affliction, and does not humbly pray to Him, shows thereby that he is a חנף, one estranged from God (on the idea of the root, vid., i. 216), and not a צדיק. This connection renders it natural to understand not the divine wrath by אף: θησαυρίζουσιν ὀργήν (Rosenm. after Rom 2:5), or: they heap up wrath upon themselves (Wolfson, who supplies עליהם), but the impatience, discontent, and murmuring…”
