Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

Only grant these two things to me
In this plea, Job is directly addressing God, seeking a reprieve from his suffering. This reflects the intimate and personal relationship Job maintains with God despite his trials. The number "two" signifies completeness in Hebrew culture, suggesting Job's request is comprehensive for his current needs. This echoes the biblical theme of petitioning God for specific needs, as seen in the prayers of figures like Solomon (1 Kings 3:9) and Hannah (1 Samuel 1:11).

so that I need not hide from You
Job's desire not to hide from God indicates his longing for restored fellowship and transparency with the Divine. This phrase underscores the biblical theme of God's omnipresence and the futility of hiding from Him, as seen inPsalm 139:7-12. It also reflects the human condition post-Fall, where Adam and Eve hid from God (Genesis 3:8), contrasting with Job's yearning for open communication. This can be seen as a type of Christ, who provides believers with the confidence to approach God without fear (Hebrews 4:16).

Teaching Points

Transparency Before God
Job's request to not hide from God highlights the importance of being open and honest in our relationship with Him. We should approach God with sincerity, knowing that He sees our hearts.

The Role of Suffering
Job's account teaches us that suffering is not always a result of personal sin. It can be a test of faith and an opportunity for growth. We should seek God's wisdom and strength in times of trial.

Faith Amidst Trials
Job's unwavering faith, despite his circumstances, serves as a model for us. We are called to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when we do not understand our situation.

The Importance of Prayer
Job's dialogue with God underscores the power of prayer. We should continually seek God's presence and guidance, especially in difficult times.

Community and Counsel
Job's interactions with his friends remind us of the importance of wise and compassionate counsel. We should seek and offer support that aligns with God's truth.

Lists and Questions

Top 10 Lessons from Job 13

How does the resolution in Job 42 align with other passages that emphasize a just God, when Job's suffering is never fully justified or explained?

If God is all-powerful, why does He need angels to do His work?

In Job 13:9, does the idea of deceiving God conflict with the belief in an omniscient deity found elsewhere in Scripture?

In Job 13:3, how can Job claim he wants to reason directly with God if Exodus 33:20 states no one can see God and live?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(20)Will I not hide myself from thee--i.e., "I shall not be hidden"--quite a different word from that inGenesis 3:10, though the comparison of the two places is not without interest.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 20. -Only do not two things unto me. Before beginning his plea, Job has two requests to make of God.

(1) That he will put an end for a time to his bodily sufferings - suspend them, at any rate, while the pleading continues;

(2) that he will during the same space abstain from terrifying him mentally, as he had done on previous occasions (Job 6:4;Job 7:14;Job 9:14; see below, ver. 21).Then will I not hide myself from thee; literally,from thy face (comp.Job 9:34, 35, "Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: then would I speak, and not fear him ").
