SEV Biblia, Chapter 40:13
Encúbrelos a todos en el polvo, venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 40:13
Verse 13. Hide them in the dust together ] Blend the high and the low, the rich and the poor, in one common ruin. Show them that thou art supreme, and canst do whatsoever thou pleasest. Bind their faces in secret. ] This seems to refer to the custom of preserving mummies: the whole body is wrapped round with strong swathings of linen or cotton cloth. Not only the limbs, but the very head, face, and all, are rolled round with strong filleting, so that not one feature can be seen, not even the protuberance of the nose. On the outside of these involutions a human face is ordinarily painted; but as to the real face itself, it is emphatically bound in secret, for those rollers are never intended to be removed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-14 - Those who profit by what they have heard from God, shall hear more from him. And those who are truly convinced of sin, yet need to be mor thoroughly convinced and more humbled. No doubt God, and he only, ha power to humble and bring down proud men; he has wisdom to know when and how to do it, and it is not for us to teach him how to govern the world. Our own hands cannot save us by recommending us to God's grace much less rescuing us from his justice; and therefore into his hand we must commit ourselves. The renewal of a believer proceeds in the sam way of conviction, humbling, and watchfulness against remaining sin, a his first conversion. When convinced of many evils in our conduct, we still need convincing of many more.
