Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 42:5

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

5. hearing of the ear — ( :- , Margin ). Hearing and seeing are often in antithesis ( Job 29:11 ; Psalms 18:8 ). seeth —not God's face ( Exodus 33:20 ), but His presence in the veil of a dark cloud ( Exodus 33:20- : ). 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 till "now" at its close. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
