Giobbe 34:21

21 Perché Iddio tien gli occhi aperti sulle vie de’ mortali, e vede tutti i lor passi.

Giobbe 34:21 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:21

For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man
Which denotes the omniscience of God, which reaches to every man, to every individual, and to all men in general; and to their ways, to every step taken by them, to the whole of their lives and conversations, and every action of them; to all their internal and external ways and goings; perhaps the former may be meant in this, and the latter in the following clause. This may denote all their inward thoughts, the workings of their mind, the imaginations of their heart; all their secret purposes, designs, and schemes; and all the desires and affections of their soul; and all these, whether good or bad:

and he seeth all his goings;
the whole of his walk and conversation, conduct and behaviour; all his external ways, works, and actions; and these whether of good or bad men, see ( Psalms 139:1-6 ) .

Giobbe 34:21 In-Context

19 che non porta rispetto all’apparenza de’ grandi, che non considera il ricco più del povero, perché son tutti opera delle sue mani?
20 In un attimo, essi muoiono; nel cuor della notte, la gente del popolo è scossa e scompare, i potenti son portati via, senza man d’uomo.
21 Perché Iddio tien gli occhi aperti sulle vie de’ mortali, e vede tutti i lor passi.
22 Non vi son tenebre, non v’è ombra di morte, ove possa nascondersi chi opera iniquamente.
23 Dio non ha bisogno d’osservare a lungo un uomo per trarlo davanti a lui in giudizio.
