Job 15:18 Meaning and Commentary

Job 15:18

Which wise men have told from their fathers
Men wise in the best sense, not to do evil, but to do good; not worldly wise men, but such who have wisdom, sound wisdom in the inward parts; who are wise to salvation, and who are partakers of divine and spiritual wisdom; and such men, as they would never tell an untruth, so they would never report a false or a foolish thing they had heard, nor any thing but upon a good testimony, what they have received from their fathers, who were also wise and good men; and therefore such a testimony, though not ocular, but by tradition, deserves regard:

and have not hid [it];
their fathers did not hide it from them, and what they have received from their fathers they did not hide it from their children; and so it came to be handed down from one to another with great truth, exactness, and certainty, and to be depended upon, see ( Psalms 44:1 ) ( Psalms 78:3 Psalms 78:4 ) .

Job 15:18 In-Context

16 ¡mucho menos una persona corrupta y pecadora
que tiene sed de maldad!

17 »Si escuchas, yo te explicaré,
y te responderé con mi propia experiencia.

18 Se confirma en las palabras de los sabios,
que a su vez escucharon lo mismo de sus padres;

19 de aquellos a quienes se les dio la tierra
mucho antes de que llegara algún extranjero.

20 »Los malos se retuercen de dolor toda su vida.
Para los despiadados están reservados años de desgracia.
