In the 33. v. 6. Elihu saith to Job,1 for that he had wished to have God answer him, behold I will be according to thy word for God. This to be the true meaning, the words do show themselves: and therefore it was a marvel that your translator would turn them thus,2 Behold, even me hath God made as thee. And in the 25. v. where Elihu declaring how God dealeth with his children in punishing them for a season, and afterwards restoring them to health, saith thus, his flesh is made fresh, as in his childhood, your translator hath altered the words and the sense in this sort, his flesh is consumed with punishments. 3Such faults as these, which are indeed gross and great faults in translating the scriptures, is your translation of this book replenished withal. I have not laboured to note every particular fault: for that had been a business too tedious. But of many I have picked out certain, whereby the reader may conceive what to judge aright of your whole translation.
