SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:8

Los rectos se maravillarán de esto, y el inocente se despertará contra el hipócrita.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 17:8

Verse 8. Upright men shall be astonied ] In several of these verses Job is supposed to speak prophetically of his future restoration, and of the good which religious society should derive from the history of his original affluence, consequent poverty and affliction, and final restoration to health, peace, and prosperity. The upright will receive the account with astonishment, and wonder at the dispensations of the Almighty; while hypocrites, false professors and the sour- headed, godly, shall be unmasked, and innocent men, whether in affliction or affluence, shall be known to be favourites of the Almighty.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-9 - Job reflects upon the harsh censures his friends had passed upon him and, looking on himself as a dying man, he appeals to God. Our time is ending. It concerns us carefully to redeem the days of time, and to spend them in getting ready for eternity. We see the good use the righteous should make of Job's afflictions from God, from enemies, an from friends. Instead of being discouraged in the service of God, by the hard usage this faithful servant of God met with, they should be made bold to proceed and persevere therein. Those who keep their ey upon heaven as their end, will keep their feet in the paths of religio as their way, whatever difficulties and discouragements they may mee with.
