God hath been just in punishing thy children, and he will be merciful in pardoning thee, in accepting thy person, in prospering thy estate, if now at last thou apply thy self to seek him diligently; Though thy children have fallen into the hand of their transgression, yet there is hope that thou mayest escape. Thus he deals with him in a way of counsel, as Eliphaz had done before, Chap. 5. v. 8. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause; this is the counsel I give thee, and the course I would take my self. Bildad speaks the same in effect, and almost in the letter; If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication unto the Almighty, &c, He would awake for thee.
God hath been just in punishing thy children, and he will be mercifull in pardoning thee, in accepting thy person, in prospering thy estate, if now at last thou apply thy self to seek him diligently; Though thy children have fallen into the hand of their transgression, yet there is hope that thou maiest escape. Thus he deals with him in a way of counsell, as Eliphaz had done before, Chap. 5. v. 8. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause; this is the counsell I give thee, and the course I would take my self. Bildad speaks the same in effect, and almost in the letter; If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication unto the Almighty, &c, He would awake for thee.
