seven - (See on Introduction). The number offered by the Gentile prophet (Num 23:1). Job plainly lived before the legal priesthood, etc. The patriarchs acted as priests for their families; and sometimes as praying mediators (Gen 20:17), thus foreshadowing the true Mediator (1Ti 2:5), but sacrifice accompanies and is the groundwork on which the mediation rests.

him - rather, “His person [face] only” (see on Job 22:30). The “person,” must be first accepted, before God can accept his offering and work (Gen 4:4); that can be only through Jesus Christ.

folly - impiety (Job 1:22; Job 2:10).
