Job 42:5
_ _ hearing of the ear — (Psalms 18:44, 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 (Job 38:1). 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. |
Job 42:5
Seeth thee — The knowledge which I had of thy nature, perfections and counsels, was hitherto grounded chiefly, upon the instructions of men; but now it is clear and certain, as being immediately inspired into my mind by this thy glorious apparition and revelation, and by the operation of thy holy spirit; which makes these things as evident to me, as if I saw them with my bodily eyes. When the mind is enlightened by the spirit of God, our knowledge of Divine things as far exceeds what we had before, as knowledge by ocular demonstration, exceeds, that by common fame. |
Job 42:5
I have (e) heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
(e) I knew you only before by hearsay, but now you have caused me to feel what you are to me, that I may resign myself over to you. |
