I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Hearing of ear - (Psalms 18:44, margin.) Hearing and seeing are often in antithesis (Job 29:11; Psalms 48:8).
Seeth - not God's face (Exodus 33:20, "Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me and live"), but His presence in the veil of a dark cloud (Job 38:1). Job implies also that, besides this literal seeing, he now saw spiritually what he had indistinctly taken on hearsay before-God's infinite wisdom. He "now" proves this; he had seen in a literal sense before, at the beginning of God's speech, but he had not seen spiritually until, "now," at its close.
