SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:23
¶ ¿Cuántas iniquidades y pecados tengo yo? Hazme entender mi prevaricación y mi pecado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 13:23
Verse 23. How many are mine iniquities ] Job being permitted to begin first, enters immediately upon the subject; and as it was a fact that he was grievously afflicted, and this his friends asserted was in consequence of grievous iniquities, he first desires to have them specified. What are the specific charges in this indictment? To say I must be a sinner to be thus afflicted, is saying nothing; tell me what are the sins, and show me the proofs.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-28 - Job begs to have his sins discovered to him. A true penitent is willin to know the worst of himself; and we should all desire to know what ou transgressions are, that we may confess them, and guard against the for the future. Job complains sorrowfully of God's severe dealings with him. Time does not wear out the guilt of sin. When God writes bitte things against us, his design is to make us bring forgotten sins to mind, and so to bring us to repent of them, as to break us off from them. Let young persons beware of indulging in sin. Even in this worl they may so possess the sins of their youth, as to have months of sorrow for moments of pleasure. Their wisdom is to remember their Creator in their early days, that they may have assured hope, and swee peace of conscience, as the solace of their declining years. Job als complains that his present mistakes are strictly noticed. So far from this, God deals not with us according to our deserts. This was the language of Job's melancholy views. If God marks our steps, an narrowly examines our paths, in judgment, both body and soul feel his righteous vengeance. This will be the awful case of unbelievers, ye there is salvation devised, provided, and made known in Christ __________________________________________________________________
