JOB CHAPTER 33
He offereth himself in God’s stead to reason with Job, Job_33:1-7, who had too hard thoughts of God, who by his greatness giveth no account of his ways, Job_33:8-13. God instructeth man by visions, Job_33:14-18; by afflictions, Job_33:19-22; by his ministry, Job_33:23-25. When man prayeth and confesseth, God will be gracious, Job_33:26-28. These are God’s methods of instructing men, Job_33:29,30.
Perceiving the error Job’s friends, and that by their violent and opprobrious speeches they has exasperated Job’s mind, and thereby hindered the success of their discourses, he applies himself to him in milder ways, and treats him kindly, thereby to gain his attention and affection, that his words might have more acceptance with him.
Hearken to all my words; not only to what may please thee, but also to what may convince and reprove thee.
