SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:24

¡Que con cincel de hierro y con plomo fuesen en piedra esculpidas para siempre!

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 19:24

Verse 24. Iron pen and lead ] Some suppose that the meaning of this place is this: the iron pen is the chisel by which the letters were to be deeply cut in the stone or rock; and the lead was melted into those cavities in order to preserve the engraving distinct. But this is not so natural a supposition as what is stated above; that Job refers to the different kinds of writing or perpetuating public events, used in his time: and the quotations from Pliny and Pausanias confirm the opinion already expressed.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 23-29 - The Spirit of God, at this time, seems to have powerfully wrought of the mind of Job. Here he witnessed a good confession; declared the soundness of his faith, and the assurance of his hope. Here is much of Christ and heaven; and he that said such things are these, declare plainly that he sought the better country, that is, the heavenly. Jo was taught of God to believe in a living Redeemer; to look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come; he comforted himself with the expectation of these. Job was assured, tha this Redeemer of sinners from the yoke of Satan and the condemnation of sin, was his Redeemer, and expected salvation through him; and that he was a living Redeemer, though not yet come in the flesh; and that a the last day he would appear as the Judge of the world, to raise the dead, and complete the redemption of his people. With what pleasur holy Job enlarges upon this! May these faithful sayings be engraved by the Holy Spirit upon our hearts. We are all concerned to see that the root of the matter be in us. A living, quickening, commanding principl of grace in the heart, is the root of the matter; as necessary to ou religion as the root of the tree, to which it owes both its fixednes and its fruitfulness. Job and his friends differed concerning the methods of Providence, but they agreed in the root of the matter, the belief of another world __________________________________________________________________
