SEV Biblia, Chapter 33:27
El mira sobre los hombres; y el que dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 33:27
Verse 27. He looketh upon men ] µyna anashim, wretched, fallen men. He shines into them, to convince them of sin; and if any, under this convincing light of God, say, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and perverted the right- abused the powers, faculties, mercies, and advantages, which thou didst give me, by seeking rest and happiness in the creature, and it profited me not-it was all vanity and vexation of spirit; yl hw alw velo shavah li, "and it was not equal to me," did not come up to my expectation, nor supply my wants: -
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-28 - Job complained of his diseases, and judged by them that God was angr with him; his friends did so too: but Elihu shows that God ofte afflicts the body for good to the soul. This thought will be of grea use for our getting good from sickness, in and by which God speaks to men. Pain is the fruit of sin; yet, by the grace of God, the pain of the body is often made a means of good to the soul. When affliction have done their work, they shall be removed. A ransom or propitiatio is found. Jesus Christ is the Messenger and the Ransom, so Elihu call him, as Job had called him his Redeemer, for he is both the Purchase and the Price, the Priest and the sacrifice. So high was the value of souls, that nothing less would redeem them; and so great the hurt don by sin, that nothing less would atone for it, than the blood of the So of God, who gave his life a ransom for many. A blessed change follows Recovery from sickness is a mercy indeed, when it proceeds from the remission of sin. All that truly repent of their sins, shall find merc with God. The works of darkness are unfruitful works; all the gains of sin will come far short of the damage. We must, with a broken an contrite heart, confess our sins to God, 1Jo 1:9. We must confess the fact of sin; and not try to justify or excuse ourselves. We mus confess the fault of sin; I have perverted that which was right. We must confess the folly of sin; So foolish have I been and ignorant. I there not good reason why we should make such a confession?
