SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:16

Dios ha enternecido mi corazón, y el Omnipotente me ha espantado.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 23:16

Verse 16. For God maketh my heart soft ] Prostrates my strength, deprives me of courage, so that I sink beneath my burden, and I am troubled at the thought of the Almighty, the self-sufficient and eternal Being.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13-17 - As Job does not once question but that his trials are from the hand of God, and that there is no such thing as chance, how does he account for them? The principle on which he views them is, that the hope and rewar of the faithful servants of God are only laid up in another life; an he maintains that it is plain to all, that the wicked are not treate according to their deserts in this life, but often directly the reverse. But though the obtaining of mercy, the first-fruits of the Spirit of grace, pledges a God, who will certainly finish the wor which he has began; yet the afflicted believer is not to conclude tha all prayer and entreaty will be in vain, and that he should sink int despair, and faint when he is reproved of Him. He cannot tell but the intention of God in afflicting him may be to produce penitence an prayer in his heart. May we learn to obey and trust the Lord, even in tribulation; to live or die as he pleases: we know not for what goo ends our lives may be shortened or prolonged __________________________________________________________________
