SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:17

¶ ¿Qué es el hombre, para que lo engrandezcas, y que pongas sobre él tu corazón,

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-21 - Job reasons with God concerning his dealings with man. But in the mids of this discourse, Job seems to have lifted up his thoughts to God with some faith and hope. Observe the concern he is in about his sins. The best men have to complain of sin; and the better they are, the mor they will complain of it. God is the Preserver of our lives, and the Saviour of the souls of all that believe; but probably Job meant the Observer of men, whose eyes are upon the ways and hearts of all men. We can hide nothing from Him; let us plead guilty before his throne of grace, that we may not be condemned at his judgment-seat. Jo maintained, against his friends, that he was not a hypocrite, not wicked man, yet he owns to his God, that he had sinned. The best mus so acknowledge, before the Lord. He seriously inquires how he might be at peace with God, and earnestly begs forgiveness of his sins. He mean more than the removing of his outward trouble, and is earnest for the return of God's favour. Wherever the Lord removes the guilt of sin, he breaks the power of sin. To strengthen his prayer for pardon, Jo pleads the prospect he had of dying quickly. If my sins be not pardone while I live, I am lost and undone for ever. How wretched is sinful ma without a knowledge of the Saviour __________________________________________________________________
