THE five first verses of this Chapter, contain the fourth Argument, by which Eliphaz goes on to convince Job of sinful hypocrisy. And the conviction is made two ways, from a two-fold comparison. First, He compares Job to the Saints, and finds him unlike to them: Secondly, He compares Job to the wicked, and finds him like to them; if so, then Job must needs be a hypocrite, who had carried it fair all the while in the world, for a great professor, and yet when he comes to the trial, was unlike all the Saints, and most like the wicked of the world. The first Argument may be thus framed.
