SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:13
¶ Si t preparares tu corazn, y extendieres a l tus manos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 11:13
Verse 13. If thou prepare thine heart ] Make use of the powers which God has given thee, and be determined to seek him with all thy soul. And stretch out thine hands toward him ] Making fervent prayer and supplication, putting away iniquity out of thy hand, and not permitting wickedness to dwell in thy tabernacle; then thou shalt lift up thy face without a blush, thou wilt become established, and have nothing to fear, ver. 14, 15. There is a sentiment in Prov. xvi. 1, very similar to that in the 13th verse, which we translate very improperly: - bl ykr[m dal leadam maarchey leb.
To man are the preparations of the heart: wl hn[m hwhmw umeyehovah maaneh lashon. But from Jehovah is the answer to the tongue.
It is man's duty to pray; it is God's prerogative to answer. Zophar, like all the rest, is true to his principle. Job must be a wicked man, else he had not been afflicted. There must be some iniquity in his hand, and some wickedness tolerated in his family. So they all supposed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-20 - Zophar exhorts Job to repentance, and gives him encouragement, ye mixed with hard thoughts of him. He thought that worldly prosperity wa always the lot of the righteous, and that Job was to be deemed hypocrite unless his prosperity was restored. Then shalt thou lift u thy face without spot; that is, thou mayst come boldly to the throne of grace, and not with the terror and amazement expressed in ch. 9:34. I we are looked upon in the face of the Anointed, our faces that wer cast down may be lifted up; though polluted, being now washed with the blood of Christ, they may be lifted up without spot. We may draw nea in full assurance of faith, when we are sprinkled from an evi conscience, Heb 10:22 __________________________________________________________________
