There is an agreement in his name; Job, whether it signifies love or hatred, desired or hated, in both ways the etymology of it is given; it agrees with Christ, who is beloved of God and man, and the desire of all nations; who hates iniquity, and was hated for his inveighing against it.
Job was a type of him in his threefold state; before his low estate, in it, and after it; see Php 2:6. In his temptations by Satan, and sufferings from men; and particularly in his office as a priest, who both offered himself a sacrifice for his people, and offers their services and sacrifices of prayer and praise to God; and who prayed for his disciples, and for all the Father has given him, for transgressors and sinners, and even for his enemies that used him ill;for him will I accept; or his face, that is, hear his prayer, and grant what is asked by him; as well as accept his sacrifice;lest I deal with you [after your] folly; as all sin is, being committed against God, a breach of his law, and injurious to men themselves; see De 32:6.
