Giobbe 42:6

Listen to Giobbe 42:6
6 Perciò io riprovo ciò che ho detto, e me ne pento In su la polvere, ed in su la cenere.

Giobbe 42:6 Meaning and Commentary

Job 42:6

Wherefore I abhor [myself]
Or all my words, as Aben Ezra; all the indecent expressions he had uttered concerning God; he could not bear to think of them; he loathed them, and himself on account of them: sin is abominable in its own nature, and makes men so; it is loathsome to God, and so it is to all good men when they see it in its proper light; am especially when they have a view of the purity and holiness of God, to which that is so very contrary, and also of his grace and goodness in the forgiveness of it; see ( Isaiah 6:3 Isaiah 6:5 ) ( Ezekiel 16:63 ) ( 20:41 ) ;

and repent in dust and ashes;
which was an external ceremony used by mournful and penitent persons; see ( Job 2:8 ) ( Jonah 3:6 ) ; and is expressive of the truth and sincerity of repentance; and never do any more truly mourn for sin and repent of it, are more ashamed of it, or have a more godly sorrow for it, or more ingenuously confess it, and heartily forsake it, than those who with an eye of faith behold God in Christ as a sin forgiving God; or behold their sins through the glass of pardoning grace and mercy; see ( Zechariah 12:10 ) ( Luke 7:37 Luke 7:47 ) ( 1 Timothy 1:13 ) .

Giobbe 42:6 In-Context

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.
6 Perciò io riprovo ciò che ho detto, e me ne pento In su la polvere, ed in su la cenere.
7 Ora, dopo che il Signore ebbe dette queste cose a Giobbe, egli disse ancora ad Elifaz Temanita: L’ira mia è accesa contro a te, e contro a’ due tuoi compagni; perciocchè voi non mi avete parlato dirittamente, come Giobbe, mio servitore.
8 Ora dunque, pigliatevi sette giovenchi, e sette montoni, e andate al mio servitore Giobbe, ed offerite olocausto per voi; e faccia Giobbe, mio servitore, orazione per voi; perciocchè certamente io avrò riguardo a lui, per non farvi portar la pena della vostra stoltizia; conciossiachè voi non mi abbiate parlato dirittamente, come Giobbe, mio servitore.
