Commentary on Job 36:11

Theological / Devotional

If they obey. Elihu holds out the promise that prosperity and pleasure will follow in this life if those who are chastened respond in the right way (see Job 33:23-28; Jer. 7:23; 26:13). The return of Job’s prosperity, he asserts, will be dependent on his repentance of his sins and his obedience to God. Job is under discipline. But the righteous are to expect tribulation and persecution (see John 16:33; Acts 14:22; 2 Tim. 3:12; Heb. 12:1-11; 1 Peter 4:12, 13).
