Job 33:14
Compare all
12 “Look, in this you are not righteous.
I will answer you,
For God is greater than man.
13 Why do you acontend with Him?
For He does not give an accounting of any of His words. 
14 aFor God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it. 
15 aIn a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds, 
16 aThen He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction. 
17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from1 perishing by the sword. 
19 “Man is also chastened with pain on his abed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones, 
20 aSo that his life abhors bbread,
And his soul1 succulent food. 
21 His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.
22 Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.
23 “If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,
24 Then He is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found1 a ransom’; 
25 His flesh shall be young like a child’s,
He shall return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.
27 Then he looks at men and asays,
‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
And it bdid not profit me.’

John Wesley's Notes
<< Job 33:13   Job 33:15 >>


Job 33:14

Yet - Although he doth not give men an account of his matters, yet he doth that which is sufficient for them. Twice - When once speaking doth not awaken men, God is graciously pleased to give them another admonition: though he will not gratify men's curiosity in enquiring into his hidden judgments, yet he will acquaint them with their duty. God speaks to us by conscience, by providence, and by ministers, of all which Elihu here treats at large, to shew Job, that God was now telling him his mind, and endeavouring to do him good. He shews first, how God admonishes men by their own consciences.
