Clarke's Job 33:30 Bible Commentary

To bring back his soul from the pit - Nearly a repetition of the promise in Job 33:28.

To be enlightened with the light of the living - An echo of Psalm 56:13 : "Thou hast delivered my soul from death, that I may walk before God in the light of the living;" and probably quoted from it.

Barnes's Job 33:30 Bible Commentary

To bring back his soul from the pit - To keep him from descending to the grave, and to the dark world beneath. He takes these methods of warning people, in order that they may not bring destruction on themselves. See Job 33:18.

To be enlightened with the light of the living - That he may still enjoy life, and not descend to the world of shades.

Wesley's Job 33:30 Bible Commentary

33:30 To bring - That he may save men from being forever miserable, and make them forever happy. "Lord, what is man, that thou shouldest thus visit him? This should engage us, to comply with God's designs, to work with him for our own good, and not to counter - work him. And this will render those that perish inexcusable, that, so much was done to save them, and they would not he healed." So Mr. Henry.Excellent words! But how much did God do to save them? Did he ever do any thing to save them? Did he ever design to save them?If not, how does that which was never done, no nor designed, "render them inexcusable?"
