Commentary

Job shall no longer pray to God, as he complains, in vain (Job 23:3, Job 23:8-9). True especially to the redeemed in Jesus Christ (Joh 16:23-27). he--Job. shall see his face--or, God shall make Job to see His face [MAURER]. God shall no longer "hide His face" (Job 13:24). True to the believer now (Joh 14:21-22); eternally (Psa 17:15; Joh 17:24). his--God's righteousness--God will again make the restored Job no longer ("I perverted . . . right," Job 33:27) doubt God's justice, but to justify Him in His dealings. The penitent justifies God (Psa 51:4). So the believer is made to see God's righteousness in Jesus Christ (Isa 45:24; Isa 46:13).
