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 (John 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 (John 14:21-22); eternally (Psalms 17:15; John 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 (Psalms 51:4). So the believer is made to see God's righteousness in Jesus Christ (Isaiah 45:24; Isaiah 46:13).
Effects of restoration to God's favor; literally, to Job a temporal revival; spiritually, an eternal regeneration. The striking words cannot be restricted to their temporal meaning, as used by Elihu (1 Peter 1:11-12).
his flesh shall be fresher than a child's--so Naaman, 2 Kings 5:14, spiritually, John 3:3-7.
