SEV Biblia, Chapter 36:12
Mas si no oyeren, serán pasados a cuchillo, y perecerán sin sabiduría.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 36:12
Verse 12. But if they obey not ] This also is a general rule, from which, in the course of Providence, there are only few, and those only apparent, deviations. Instead of they shall perish by the sword, the meaning of the Hebrew wrb[y jlb beshelach yaaboru, is, "By a dart they shall pass by." They shall be in continual dangers, and often fall before they have lived out half their days. Mr. Good translates: They pass by as an arrow. The VULGATE: Transibunt per gladium. "They shall pass away by the sword."
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-14 - Elihu here shows that God acts as righteous Governor. He is alway ready to defend those that are injured. If our eye is ever toward God in duty, his eye will be ever upon us in mercy, and, when we are at the lowest, will not overlook us. God intends, when he afflicts us, to discover past sins to us, and to bring them to our remembrance. Also to dispose our hearts to be taught: affliction makes people willing to learn, through the grace of God working with and by it. And further, to deter us from sinning for the future. It is a command, to have no mor to do with sin. If we faithfully serve God, we have the promise of the life that now is, and the comforts of it, as far as is for God's glor and our good: and who would desire them any further? We have the possession of inward pleasures, the great peace which those have tha love God's law. If the affliction fail in its work, let men expect the furnace to be heated till they are consumed. Those that die withou knowledge, die without grace, and are undone for ever. See the natur of hypocrisy; it lies in the heart: that is for the world and the flesh, while perhaps the outside seems to be for God and religion Whether sinners die in youth, or live long to heap up wrath, their cas is dreadful. The souls of the wicked live after death, but it is in everlasting misery.
