Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:12
Second division GOD’S THREE MODES OF AFFECTIONATE VISITATION OF MEN FURNISH A SUFFICIENT REPLICATION TO JOB’S FIRST CHARGE OF DIVINE INDIFFERENCE, Job 33:12-28. a. FIRST MODE OF VISITATION IS BY THE VOICE OF CONSCIENCE IN DREAMS, Job 33:12-18. Postulate: God is greater than mortal man, (enosh,) and must do right because he is great, 12, 13. This infinite superiority of God is displayed in his visitations to men in dreams. These God makes, in order that, coming close to the soul, he may... read more

13. For he giveth not account, etc. God is not accountable for his doings, least of all to man; yet he condescends to communicate with man, as is seen in the following verses. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:14
14. God speaketh The reproof is a delicate one. Job’s complaints of the divine indifference are groundless: for God admonishes men, speaketh once, twice, and renews his admonitions when man is inattentive. Let the reader recount the number and various modes of the divine appeals to himself. Each day, like the changes in a kaleidoscope, presents a new combination of goodness, mercy, and love. On the other hand, “Sorrow dogging sin, afflictions sorted, anguish of all sizes,” are no less... read more

15. In a vision of the night See note only, Job 33:13-15. The vision supposed to have been seen by Colonel Gardiner, and ending in his conversion, is a case in point; also, the cases of Schubert, Newton, etc. The taking up and adopting of the dream of Eliphaz not only compliments “the old gentleman,” as Scott calls him, but shrewdly reproves Job for not having given it more attention. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:16
16. Sealeth their instruction “Seals it (the ear) with warning for them.” Hitzig. God opens the ear that man may comprehend the instruction ( chastisement) which he seals upon the soul represented by the ear. Every human being thus assumes new interest if, with Elihu, we look upon him as the end of divine thoughts, purposes, and discipline; God stamping his seal on the soul even, that the impressions may be deepened and perpetuated. Matters of moment are sealed against loss or harm. See... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:17
17. Purpose מעשׂה , deed; used, like the Latin facinus, in the sense of evil deed. Of the two words employed for man, the second, geber, expresses might, and thus forms an antithesis. For “weak man,” ( adham,) God interposes obstacles to the commission of sin, and from “the man of might” covers up (hides) the dazzling object of temptation. No one can estimate the restraint God thus exercises over the soul. Were there no protecting grace there would be but little, if any, human... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 33:8-33
MAIN DISCOURSE, Job 33:8-33. Elihu’s long-protracted preamble is followed by citations from Job’s impetuous and imprudent words. (Job 33:9.) In his efforts at self-justification Job had exaggerated his own righteousness and impeached the righteousness of God. Divine silence is no sign of divine forgetfulness. God has various ways of addressing men, and, while apparently antagonizing them, of really consulting their highest interests those of the soul. Through dreams, (type of inward monitions,)... read more
