Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
- Commentary, Job 19:23-27a, Steed Davidson, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2013.
  - "Curious preachers should pay attention to the book of Job rather than to its tamer counterparts. In this book, Job does the unthinkable and stands up to God. Job's stance consists not merely in the easy and all-too-common question as to why God sends natural disasters. Rather, Job raises the serious questions of who we understand God to be and how God relates to humans in the world."

  - "We vindicate Job by hearing his story. We vindicate Job by attending to the suffering around us."
- "Iron Pen," (Job 19:23-27) Michael Coffey, 2013.
- Commentary, Job 19:23-27a, James Limburg, Pentecost 24C Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2010.
  - "The meaning here in Job is thus quite clear. Job expresses his conviction that there is One living who will eventually rescue him from the suffering and mess his life has become."
