Commentaries on Job 33:27
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27He looketh upon men - אנשים anashim, wretched, fallen men. He shines into them, to convince them of sin; and if any, under this convincing light of God, say, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and perverted the right - abused the powers, faculties, mercies, and advantages, which thou didst give me, by seeking rest and happiness in the creature, and it profited me not - it was all vanity and vexation of spirit; לי שוה ולא velo shavah li, "and it…Read the comment

The striking words cannot be restricted to their temporal meaning, as used by Elihu (1Pe 1:11, 12). his flesh shall be fresher than a child's--so Naaman, 2Ki 5:14, spiritually, Joh 3:3-7.Read the comment
