Comentário sobre Jó 42:2

Job’s Reply
I knew that You can do everything That You can do anything that pleases You.

The moment has come for the final denouement of this drama: the revelation that Job had really never lost his faith and had emerged from the trial with his integrity intact. He had never really ceased to believe in Providence, free-will, the immortality of the soul or redress in the hereafter. However, knowledge is preferable to blind faith and matters as important as these should not be shrouded by ignorance; they should not be just incomprehensible mysteries. Accordingly, his intention in initiating the symposium had been to find a way of substantiating these fundamental tenets by means of rational investigation and philosophical contemplation; for this purpose, someone had to adopt the position of denying their existence. However, the attempts made by the other debaters to substantiate these tenets were totally unconvincing. Employing God’s own words, Job explains that it was in the light of this that he had called on Him to appear and enlighten his understanding of these matters.

and no design is restrained from You He repeats his words, that no design or plan is restrained or withheld from You, that You can complete and fulfill Your plans, for strength and might are in Your hand, and You have the power to do all that pleases You. This verse is similar to (Gen. 11:6), “Now will nothing that they have planned to do be restrained (יבצר) from them?”
