Comentario sobre Job 33:17

To restrain man in his illness.

a deed that he had intended to do.

and He covers haughtiness from man with his suffering, in order to vanquish him and humble him to repent, so that he withhold his soul from utter death.

All good and evil traits are embedded in the human soul, deep in its recesses, from where the רוח–spirit raises their semblance up to the mind, stimulating the person to do and act according to the particular trait or disposition. And if evil images such as pride, anger, revenge, cruelty etc., rise from the recesses of the soul and the person is drawn to behave according to these evil traits, the dream alerts him to abandon them and to plunge them back into the deepest recesses of his soul. There they remain concealed from him, lest they rise again into his mind. Thus, are man's darkest passions hidden from him...and remain just a disposition (תכונה) and not a trait (מדה) to be acted upon'

haughtiness Heb. וְגֵוָה, like גַאֲוָה.
