What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Ver. 10. But as for you all, do ye turn and come now. Which same words of exhortation he properly frames to the Elect, whom he calls to the eternal world; who are bidden in two ways, viz. that they should 'turn,' and that they should 'come;' 'turn' by faith, 'come' by practice. Or indeed that they 'turn' by abandoning evil deeds, and 'come' by doing good ones; as it is written, Depart from evil, and do good: but that is wonderful which is added, And may I not find one wise man among you. …
Thomas Aquinas
After Job presented the arguments by which he refuted the opinion of Eliphaz, he collects here what he has said and orders it to demonstrate his thesis. First, he gets their attention saying, "Therefore" since what I have said is true, "all of you," you and your fathers, who have arrayed yourselves against me, "convert" from your errors, "and come" to consider the truth. Once you have ascertained the truth it will be clear to you how far you are from true wisdom. …
Bonaventure
It is necessary that a judge have clarity of knowledge. How would I judge well concerning an unknown matter? Hence when the friends of Job argued against him that he was not just, saying: A just God does not punish the just, and yet He punishes you, therefore you are not just—they wished to judge concerning hidden things. Job, hearing these things, responded to them saying: "Turn back and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man."
