Job 11:15

For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yea, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
Read Chapter 11

Without. Septuagint, "as clean water, thou shalt put away corruption, and shalt not fear."

John Chrysostom

AD 407
For Job said, in fact, that a change was impossible: “If I wash myself with snow [that will be of no use], you have deeply plunged me into the mire.” That is why Zophar says, “Your face will shine again like pure water.” The whole of Zophar’s reflections is certainly excellent. The fact, however, that he incessantly repeats that Job’s faults have caused his misfortunes is undoubtedly wrong. It is as though Zophar wanted to exhort Job to be converted to virtue, while he was not in sin at all. To say such things demonstrates Zophar’s ignorance and the fact that he understood nothing. - "Commentary on Job 11.15–16"

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
