But rather take it in the sense before given, If it be not the Lord who doth this, then show me who it is, Where, and who is he? There is an elegant conciseness in the Hebrew, which speaks only thus, If not, where he? or, who he? The sense is, If it be not God who doth this, show me, tell me, Who is it? And so the words are an exclusion of any other power, ordering and disposing the things of the world. When old Isaac was disappointed in his intention of giving the blessing to Esau, he trembled exceedingly, and spake in the language of this Text, Who, where is he? (Gen. 27.33.) As if he had said, I thought thou my son Esau hadst brought me venison before, and if it was not thou, I know not who it should be, I was never so deceived in my life, if it was not thou. Such a broken speech Job uses here, If it be not God who doth these things, I am much deceived, for I know not any in the world to whom I might probably assign them, but only unto him. You must be wiser then I, if you find any thus powerful besides God. If not, where, and who is he? Whence observe,
