Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 33:24

_ _ Apodosis to Job 33:23.

_ _ he — God.

_ _ Deliver — literally, “redeem”; in it and “ransom” there is reference to the consideration, on account of which God pardons and relieves the sufferers; here it is primarily the intercession of Elihu. But the language is too strong for its full meaning to be exhausted by this. The Holy Ghost has suggested language which receives its full realization only in the “eternal redemption found” by God in the price paid by Jesus Christ for it; that is, His blood and meritorious intercession (Hebrews 9:12). “Obtained,” literally, “found”; implying the earnest zeal, wisdom, and faithfulness of the finder, and the newness and joyousness of the finding. Jesus Christ could not but have found it, but still His seeking it was needed [Bengel], (Luke 15:8). God the Father, is the Finder (Psalms 89:19). Jesus Christ the Redeemer, to whom He saith, Redeem (so Hebrew) him from going, etc. (2 Corinthians 5:19).

_ _ ransom — used in a general sense by Elihu, but meant by the Holy Ghost in its strict sense as applied to Jesus Christ, of a price paid for deliverance (Exodus 21:30), an atonement (that is, means of selling at once, that is, reconciling “two” who are estranged), a covering, as of the ark with pitch, typical of what covers us sinners from wrath (Genesis 6:14; Psalms 32:1). The pit is primarily here the grave (Isaiah 38:17), but the spiritual pit is mainly shadowed forth (Zechariah 9:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 33:19-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 33:24

He — God. A ransom — Although I might justly destroy him, yet I will spare him, for I have found out a way of ransoming sinners from death, which is the death of my son, the redeemer of the world, and with respect to which I will pardon them that repent and sue for mercy. Observe how God glories in the invention! I have found, I have found a ransom; a ransom for poor, undone sinners! I, even I am he that hath done it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 33:24

Then he is (o) gracious unto him, and saith, (p) Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

(o) He shows that it is a sure token of God's mercy toward sinners, when he causes his word to be preached to them.

(p) That is, the minister will by the preaching of the word pronounce to him the forgiveness of his sins.
