Commentary on Job 21:34
Job concludes his response: 'How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?' The verb nacham (נָחַם, comfort) means to console or encourage. Hevel (הֶבֶל, vain) means emptiness, breath, or futility—the same word translated 'vanity' in Ecclesiastes. Ma'al (מַעַל, falsehood) denotes treachery, unfaithfulness, or deceit. Job indicts his friends' counsel as worthless because founded on false premises—they assumed his suffering proved sin. Their theological error made their comfort not merely ineffective but harmful.
