Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 33:19-28

God has spoken once to sinners by their own consciences, to keep them from the paths of the destroyer, but they perceive it not; they are not aware that the checks their own hearts give them in a sinful way are from God, but they are imputed to melancholy or the preciseness of their education; and therefore God speaks twice; he speaks a second time, and tries another way to convince and reclaim sinners, and that is by providences, afflictive and merciful (in which he speaks twice), and by the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 33:29-33

We have here the conclusion of this first part of Elihu's discourse, in which, 1. He briefly sums up what he had said, showing that God's great and gracious design, in all the dispensations of his providence towards the children of men, is to save them from being for ever miserable and bring them to be for ever happy, Job 33:29, 30. All these things God is working with the children of men. He deals with them by conscience, by providences, by ministers, by mercies, by afflictions. He makes them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 33:25

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's ,.... Being recovered from illness and restored to health, through the gracious dealings of God with him. This is to be understood not simply and absolutely, but comparatively, or with respect to his former condition; that he, who before was reduced to skin and bone, is now become fat and plump; and whose flesh was dry and withered, now moist, succulent, and juicy; and whose skin was wrinkled, now soft and smooth, and sleek; and whose face was pale,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 33:26

He shall pray unto God ,.... As the former verse expresses the condition of the body of the man recovered from sickness, this the frame of his soul, and the spiritual blessings enjoyed by him: some understand this of his praying in the time of his affliction, and consider it as one means of his recovery; and indeed a time of affliction is a time for prayer; and which brings a good man to it, who in health and prosperity has been negligent of it; such an one will make his application to God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 33:27

He looketh upon men ,.... According to our version, and other interpreters, the sense is, God looks upon men as he does on all men in general, their ways and their works; and particularly he takes notice of men under affliction, and observes how they behave; if they are penitent and confess their sins, he restores them to health, and does them good both in body and soul. But most carry the sense another way, and interpret it of the sick man recovered, who looks upon his friends and relations... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 33:28

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit ,.... Into the pit of the grave; and then the soul is put for the man or for the body; or into the pit of hell or perdition: and his life shall see the light ; or he shall live and enjoy outward prosperity here, and the light of eternal happiness hereafter; and so the Targum interprets it of superior light, or the light above, even the inheritance of the saints in light. These words have a double reading; the "Keri", or marginal reading,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 33:29

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man. This is a summary or recapitulation of what goes before, from Job 33:15 ; God is an operating Being, he is always at work in a providential way: "my father worketh hitherto", John 5:17 ; sometimes on the minds of men in dreams and visions; and sometimes by affliction; and sometimes by his prophets, messengers and ministers of the word; he works with and by these, and all according to the internal workings and actings of his mind,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 33:30

To bring back his soul from the pit ,.... From the pit of the grave; at the mouth or on the brink of which he seemed to be in the apprehension of his friends, and having the sentence of death in himself; see Psalm 90:3 . Or "to turn away" F24 להשיב "ut avertat", Beza, Mercerus, Piscator, Michaelis, Schultens. , or "stay his soul from the pit", as Mr. Broughton; prevent his going into it by removing his disorder, and restoring him to health, as in the case of Hezekiah, Isaiah 38:17... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:25

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's - He shall be born a new creature. He shall return to the days of his youth - He shall be born again, and become a child of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:26

He shall pray unto God - Being now adopted into the heavenly family, and become a new creature, he shall have the spirit of prayer, which is indeed the very breath and language of the new or spiritual life. He will be favorable unto him - He shall manifest his good will to him; he shall live under the influences of Divine grace. He shall see his face with joy - He shall know that God is reconciled to him; and this shall fill him with joy, בתרועה bithruah , with exultation: for,... read more
