Job 33:23
_ _ Elihu refers to himself as the divinely-sent (Job 32:8; Job 33:6) “messenger,” the “interpreter” to explain to Job and vindicate God’s righteousness; such a one Eliphaz had denied that Job could look for (Job 5:1), and Job (Job 9:33) had wished for such a “daysman” or umpire between him and God. The “messenger” of good is antithetical to the “destroyers” (Job 33:23).
_ _ with him — if there be vouchsafed to the sufferer. The office of the interpreter is stated “to show unto man God’s uprightness” in His dealings; or, as Umbreit, “man’s upright course towards God” (Proverbs 14:2). The former is better; Job maintained his own “uprightness” (Job 16:17; Job 27:5, Job 27:6); Elihu on the contrary maintains God’s, and that man’s true uprightness lies in submission to God. “One among a thousand” is a man rarely to be found. So Jesus Christ (Song of Songs 5:10). Elihu, the God-sent mediator of a temporal deliverance, is a type of the God-man Jesus Christ the Mediator of eternal deliverance: “the messenger of the covenant” (Malachi 3:1). This is the wonderful work of the Holy Ghost, that persons and events move in their own sphere in such a way as unconsciously to shadow forth Him, whose “testimony is the Spirit of prophecy”; as the same point may be center of a small and of a vastly larger concentric circle. |
Job 33:23
A messenger — A prophet or teacher. To expound the providence, and point out the design of God therein. One, &c. — A person rightly qualified for this great and hard work, such as there are but very few. To shew — To direct him to the right way how he may please God, and procure that mercy which he thirsts after; which is not by quarrelling with God, but by an humble confession. and supplication for mercy through Christ the redeemer. |
Job 33:23
If there be a (m) messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, (n) to shew unto man his uprightness:
(m) A man sent from God to declare his will.
(n) A singular man, and as one chosen out of a thousand, who is able to declare the great mercies of God to sinners: and in which man's righteousness stands, which is through the justice of Jesus Christ. |
