Job shall no longer pray to God, as he complains, in vain (Job 23:3, Job 23:8-9). True especially to the redeemed in Jesus Christ (Joh 16:23-27).
he--Job.
shall see his face--or, God shall make Job to see His face [MAURER]. God shall no longer "hide His face" (Job 13:24). True to the believer now (Joh 14:21-22); eternally (Psa 17:15; Joh 17:24).
his--God's
righteousness--God will again make the restored Job no longer ("I perverted . . . right," Job 33:27) doubt God's justice, but to justify Him in His dealings. The penitent justifies God (Psa 51:4). So the believer is made to see God's righteousness in Jesus Christ (Isa 45:24; Isa 46:13). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He shall pray unto God ... - That is, when he fully understands the design of affliction; and when his mind is brought to a proper state of penitence for his past conduct, then he will find God merciful and ready to show him kindness.
And he shall see his face with joy - The face of God. That is, he shall be able to look up to him with peace and comfort. This language is similar to that which is so frequently employed in the Scriptures, in which God is said to lift upon us the light of his countenance. The meaning here is, that the afflicted man would be again permitted to look by faith on God, being reconciled to him, and would see in his face no indication of displeasure.
For he will render unto man his righteousness - He will deal with him in justice and equity. When he sees evidence of penitence, he will treat him accordingly; and if in the afflicted man he discerns true piety, he will regard and treat him as his friend. The meaning is, that if there is in the sufferer any sincere love to God, he will not be indifferent to it, but will treat him as possessing it. This is still true, and universally true. If there is in the heart of one who is afflicted any real piety, God will not treat him as an impenitent sinner, but will manifest his mercy to him, and show to him the favors which he confers only on his friends. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Render - He will deal with him as with one reconciled to him through the mediator, and turning from sin to righteousness. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He shall pray unto God - Being now adopted into the heavenly family, and become a new creature, he shall have the spirit of prayer, which is indeed the very breath and language of the new or spiritual life.
He will be favorable unto him - He shall manifest his good will to him; he shall live under the influences of Divine grace.
He shall see his face with joy - He shall know that God is reconciled to him; and this shall fill him with joy, בתרועה bithruah, with exultation: for, "being justified by faith, he has peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom he has received the atonement; and Rejoices in the hope of the glory of God."
He will render unto man his righteousness - So good and gracious is the Lord, that by his grace he will enable this convert to live to his glory, to bring forth all the fruits of the Spirit, and then reward him for the work, as if it were done by his own might. |

24 Surely, shall one say [0559], in the LORD [03068] have I righteousness [06666] and strength [05797]: even to him shall men come [0935]; and all that are incensed [02734] against him shall be ashamed [0954].
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned [02398], and done [06213] this evil [07451] in thy sight [05869]: that thou mightest be justified [06663] when thou speakest [01696], and be clear [02135] when thou judgest [08199].
27 He looketh [07789] upon men [0582], and if any say [0559], I have sinned [02398], and perverted [05753] that which was right [03477], and it profited [07737] me not;
24 Father [3962], I will [2309] that [2443] they also [2548], whom [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427], be [5600] with [3326] me [1700] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510]; that [2443] they may behold [2334] my [1699] glory [1391], which [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427]: for [3754] thou lovedst [25] me [3165] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889].
15 As for me, I will behold [02372] thy face [06440] in righteousness [06664]: I shall be satisfied [07646], when I awake [06974], with thy likeness [08544].
21 He that hath [2192] my [3450] commandments [1785], and [2532] keepeth [5083] them [846], he [1565] it is [2076] that loveth [25] me [3165]: and [1161] he that loveth [25] me [3165] shall be loved [25] of [5259] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] I [1473] will love [25] him [846], and [2532] will manifest [1718] myself [1683] to him [846].
22 Judas [2455] saith [3004] unto him [846], not [3756] Iscariot [2469], Lord [2962], how [5101] is it [1096] that [3754] thou wilt [3195] manifest [1718] thyself [4572] unto us [2254], and [2532] not [3780] unto the world [2889]?
24 Wherefore hidest [05641] thou thy face [06440], and holdest [02803] me for thine enemy [0341]?
23 And [2532] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250] ye shall [3756] ask [2065] me [1691] nothing [3762]. Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Whatsoever [3745] [302] ye shall ask [154] the Father [3962] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], he will give [1325] it you [5213].
24 Hitherto [2193] [737] have ye asked [154] nothing [3756] [3762] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686]: ask [154], and [2532] ye shall receive [2983], that [2443] your [5216] joy [5479] may be [5600] full [4137].
25 These things [5023] have I spoken [2980] unto you [5213] in [1722] proverbs [3942]: but [235] the time [5610] cometh [2064], when [3753] I shall [2980] no more [3765] speak [2980] unto you [5213] in [1722] proverbs [3942], but [235] I shall shew [312] you [5213] plainly [3954] of [4012] the Father [3962].
26 At [1722] that [1565] day [2250] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686]: and [2532] I say [3004] not [3756] unto you [5213], that [3754] I [1473] will pray [2065] the Father [3962] for [4012] you [5216]:
27 For [1063] the Father [3962] himself [846] loveth [5368] you [5209], because [3754] ye [5210] have loved [5368] me [1691], and [2532] have believed [4100] that [3754] I [1473] came out [1831] from [3844] God [2316].
8 Behold, I go [01980] forward [06924], but he is not there; and backward [0268], but I cannot perceive [0995] him:
9 On the left hand [08040], where he doth work [06213], but I cannot behold [02372] him: he hideth [05848] himself on the right hand [03225], that I cannot see [07200] him:
3 Oh that [05414] I knew [03045] where I might find [04672] him! that I might come [0935] even to his seat [08499]!
