Giobbe 42:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 42:1

Then Job answered the Lord, and said.
] For though he had said he would answer no more, ( Job 40:5 ) ; yet he might mean not in the manner he had, complaining of God and justifying himself; besides he might change his mind without any imputation of falsehood or a lie; see ( Jeremiah 20:9 ) ; to which may be added, that he had then said all he had to say, and did not know he should have more: he then confessed as much as he was convinced of, but it was not enough; and now through what the Lord had since said to him he was more convinced of his ignorance, mistakes, and sins, and had such a sight of God and of himself, that he could not forbear speaking; moreover an injunction was laid upon him from the Lord to speak again, and therefore he was obliged to give in his answer; see ( Job 40:7 ) .

Giobbe 42:1 In-Context

1 E GIOBBE rispose al Signore, e disse:

2 Io so che tu puoi tutto; E che cosa niuna che tu abbia deliberata, non può essere impedita.

3 Chi è costui, che oscura il consiglio senza scienza? Perciò, io ho dichiarata la mia opinione, Ma io non intendeva ciò ch’io diceva; Son cose maravigliose sopra la mia capacità, Ed io non le posso comprendere.

4 Deh! ascolta, ed io parlerò; Ed io ti farò delle domande, e tu insegnami.

5 Io avea con gli orecchi udito parlar di te; Ma ora l’occhio mio ti ha veduto.
