Job 33:25,26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's Presently the sick man shall begin to recover: these joyful tidings delivered to him by God's messenger shall revive his spirit, and, by degrees, restore his former health and vigour; so that he shall become a new man in his body, as well as in his mind: his flesh shall look as fresh as when he was a child; and he shall return to the days of his youth To the same healthful and strong constitution of body which he had in his youth. He shall pray unto God The sick man shall, being encouraged and engaged so to do, either by the aforesaid gracious message, or by the goodness of God manifested in his miraculous recovery. And he will be favourable unto him In hearing and answering his prayers, which before he seemed to neglect. And he shall see his face with joy God will lift up upon him the light of his reconciled countenance; whereas, before, he either hid his face from him, or seemed to frown upon him: in other words, he shall now be sensible that God looks graciously upon and is pleased with him. For he will render unto man his righteousness He will deal with him as with one now reconciled to him through the Mediator, and turning from sin to righteousness.
