Jó 33

Julian of Eclanum · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Jó 33:4-5

[Elihu] believes that with the aid of a comparison he can make some effective assertions against Job. "If you," he says, "cannot reply to me, a creation of God, be certain that you will be much less able to reply to God, the Maker of everything." — EXPOSITION ON THE BOOK OF JOB 33:4-5

Jó 33:8-10

This is what holy Job had said above, "Do you want me to reap the iniquities of my youth?" Therefore, [Elihu] refutes this as a blasphemy, that is, the fact that holy Job had believed that no fault could be found in him; he was blameless in his mature age but was punished severely for the errors committed in his youth. — EXPOSITION ON BOOK OF JOB 33.8-10

Jó 33:12-13

If you believe that you must also show this to those who are ungrateful, you will nonetheless consent that God is undoubtedly superior to all. Therefore, since he is also the first in justice and wisdom, he cannot appear to have done something that may incur your note of reproof. — EXPOSITION ON THE BOOK OF JOB 33:12
