SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:8
Los jóvenes me veían, y se escondían; y los viejos se levantaban, y estaban en pie.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 29:8
Verse 8. The young men saw me, and hid themselves ] From all classes of persons I had the most marked respect. The YOUNG, through modesty and bashfulness, shrunk back, and were afraid to meet the eye of their prince; and the AGED rose from their seats when I entered the place of judgment. These were the elders of the people, who also sat with the judge, and assisted in all legal cases.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-17 - All sorts of people paid respect to Job, not only for the dignity of his rank, but for his personal merit, his prudence, integrity, and goo management. Happy the men who are blessed with such gifts as these They have great opportunities of honouring God and doing good, but have great need to watch against pride. Happy the people who are blesse with such men! it is a token for good to them. Here we see what Jo valued himself by, in the day of his prosperity. It was by his usefulness. He valued himself by the check he gave to the violence of proud and evil men. Good magistrates must thus be a restraint to evil-doers, and protect the innocent; in order to this, they should ar themselves with zeal and resolution. Such men are public blessings, an resemble Him who rescues poor sinners from Satan. How many who wer ready to perish, now are blessing Him! But who can show forth Hi praises? May we trust in His mercy, and seek to imitate His truth justice, and love.
