The first step of mercy, is, That God would awake for him. Surely now he would awake for thee. And there are three things observable about this.
First, The certainty of it, in the word [Surely] without all doubt or peradventure, if thou wouldest thus seek to him, He would awake.
Secondly, The speediness of it; Surely now he would awake, [Now] without delay or demur; thou shouldest no sooner seek to God, but find an answer of mercy from him.
Secondly, The speedinesse of it; Surely now he would awake, [Now] without delay or demurre; thou shouldest no sooner seek to God, but finde an answer of mercy from him.
Thirdly, The benefit of it to Job, He would awake for thee. For Job might say,1 I may awaken a sleepy Lion to rise up against me; God may be angry with my prayer, and in stead of blessing pour out some further judgement upon me: No, saith Bildad, I assure thee, if thou thus seek to him, He will awake for thee, not against thee.
