SEV Biblia, Chapter 42:5

De oídas te había oído; mas ahora mis ojos te ven.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 42:5

Verse 5. I have heard of thee ] I have now such a discovery of thee as I have never had before. I have only heard of thee by tradition, or from imperfect information; now the eye of my mind clearly perceives thee, and in seeing thee, I see myself; for the light that discovers thy glory and excellence, discovers my meanness and vileness.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-6 - Job was now sensible of his guilt; he would no longer speak in his ow excuse; he abhorred himself as a sinner in heart and life, especiall for murmuring against God, and took shame to himself. When the understanding is enlightened by the Spirit of grace, our knowledge of Divine things as far exceeds what we had before, as the sight of the eyes excels report and common fame. By the teachings of men, God reveals his Son to us; but by the teachings of his Spirit he reveal his Son in us, Ga 1:16, and changes us into the same image, 2Co 3:18 It concerns us to be deeply humbled for the sins of which we ar convinced. Self-loathing is ever the companion of true repentance. The Lord will bring those whom he loveth, to adore him in self-abasement while true grace will always lead them to confess their sins withou self-justifying.
