An exposition with practical observations continued upon the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters…

So the words contain four distinct affirming Questions, Is not this thy fear? Is not this thy confidence? Is not this the uprightness of thy ways? and is not this thy hope? This is thy fear, &c. As if Eliphaz had said, Job, without doubt thou hast showed all thy goodness at once; or, Is not this all that thou art able to make out and show?
