Job 33:27,28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He looketh upon men God diligently observes all mankind, and the conduct of every one, especially of every one in sickness and distress. If any say, I have sinned If any one sincerely, humbly, and penitently confess and forsake his sins: I have perverted that which was right I have judged perversely of the just and righteous ways of God, censuring his proceedings against me, as too rigorous and severe; whereas, in truth, I only was to be blamed; or I have swerved from the right and good way of God's commands, and have made to myself crooked paths; and it profited me not I got no good by so doing, as I vainly supposed I should, but got much hurt by it, and that both in body and mind, which was the just fruit of my sins. He will deliver his soul from going into the pit The pit of hell: iniquity shall not be his everlasting ruin; and his life shall see the light The light of this world, the light of the living, Job 33:30. His life, which was endangered, shall be restored and continued: yea, further, his life, his ever living and immortal soul, shall see and enjoy light, all good in the vision and fruition of God for ever.
