29 “Behold, God works all these things,
twice, yes three times, with a man, 30 to bring back his soul from the pit,
that he may be enlightened with the light of the living. 31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me.
Hold your peace, and I will speak. 32 If you have anything to say, answer me.
Speak, for I desire to justify you. 33 If not, listen to me.
Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 33:29-33
Commentary on Job 33:29-33
(Read Job 33:29-33)
Elihu shows that God's great and gracious design toward the children of men, is, to save them from being for ever miserable, and to bring them to be for ever happy. By whatever means we are kept back from the we shall bless the Lord for them at least, and should bless him for them though they be painful and distressing. Those that perish for ever are without excuse, for they would not be healed.
