Contextual Overview

⁵Behold, God is mighty but does not reject;He is mighty in the power of His heart. ⁶He does not keep the wicked alive,But gives justice to the afflicted. ⁷He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;But with kings on the throneHe has seated them forever, and they are exalted. ⁸And if they are bound in fetters,And are caught in the cords of affliction, ⁹Then He declares to them their workAnd their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves. ¹⁰He opens their ear to discipline,And says that they return from wickedness. ¹¹If they hear and serve Him,They will end their days in prosperityAnd their years in pleasures. ¹²But if they do not hear, they shall pass away by a weaponAnd they will breathe their last without knowledge. ¹³But the godless in heart lay up anger;They do not cry for help when He binds them. ¹⁴They die in youth,And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He openeth also their ear to discipline,.... Or "to correction" o; to the rod of correction; to hear the voice of it and him that has appointed it; its reproving voice for sin, its directing voice to duty, and its commanding voice to return from iniquity, as in the next clause. Or "to instruction" p; God's corrections of his people being instructions to them, whereby they learn more of their duty, and of the rich experiences of grace; their faith, hope, love, and patience, are tried and increased hereby; and more of the love of God, of his care and faithfulness, of his covenant, of his gracious presence, and communion with God, what it is; and even of the doctrines of the everlasting Gospel: sometimes more is learned by an affliction than by a sermon. Now in order to hearken hereunto, to the voice of God in an affliction, the ear must be opened; which is first done in conversion by the mighty power of God: but sometimes good men fall asleep, and are inattentive to divine things; and this is one way God takes to awaken them, to arouse their attention; he speaks to them out of a whirlwind; he sends some terrible startling affliction, which fetches them out of their slumber, and so their ears are opened to hear what he says in it: at the noise of his waterspouts, and his billows one after another rolling over them, they are awakened to a sense of their sin and duty, Psalms 42:7;

and commandeth that they return from iniquity; repent of their sin, turn from it and forsake it: such a strong voice has an affliction in it, when sanctified and attended with the spirit and power of God; then it effectually teaches men to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, as the word of God, the Gospel of the grace of God does, when accompanied with the same; as there is a commanding voice in the one, so there is in the other; and happy it is when such ends as these are answered by afflictions.
