Giobbe 15:17

17 Io ti dichiarerò, ascoltami pure, E ti racconterò ciò che io ho veduto;

Giobbe 15:17 Meaning and Commentary

Job 15:17

I will show thee, hear me
Here Eliphaz proceeds to illustrate and make plain, to clear and defend, his former sentiment and proposition, and into which the rest of his friends came; that only wicked, and not righteous men, are afflicted of God, especially in such a manner as Job was; and he proposes to show things worthy of his regard, and not such vain and unprofitable things which Job had uttered; and, in order to stir up and engage his attention, he says what follows:

and that [which] I have seen I will declare;
what he had been an eyewitness of himself; the same he had observed, ( Job 4:8 ) ; and such testimonies are most regarded, and reckoned most authentic and creditable, especially when they come from men of character; see ( Luke 1:1 Luke 1:2 ) ( 1 John 1:1 ) .

Giobbe 15:17 In-Context

15 Ecco, egli non si fida ne’ suoi santi, Ed i cieli non son puri nel suo cospetto;
16 Quanto più abbominevole e puzzolente È l’uomo, che beve l’iniquità come acqua?
17 Io ti dichiarerò, ascoltami pure, E ti racconterò ciò che io ho veduto;
18 Il che i savi hanno narrato, E non l’hanno celato, avendolo ricevuto da’ padri loro;
19 A’ quali soli la terra fu data, E per mezzo i cui paesi non passò mai straniero.
