JOB Chap. 9. Vers. 34, 35. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me. Then would I speak, and not fear him, but it is not so with me.
JOB Chap. 9. Vers. 34, 35. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrifie me. Then would I speak, and not fear him, but it is not so with me.
WE have showed (in the two former verses) Job renouncing and protesting against all thought of contending at all with God; He is not a man as I am, that I should answer him, 1&c. In these two he desireth God not to contend with him: as if he had said, Lord, I will not plead or dispute with thee; and I know (such is thy sovereignty) thou mayest do wh•t thou pleasest with me; Yet, oh that thou wouldest be pleased to abate of the severity of thy proceeding, and to remit the fierceness of that wrath, wherein thou appearest against me, that I might have liberty to spread my condition in thy presence. I have no friend to take up the matter for me; but I would open my case in a few words my self, if I might obtain a cessation, but for the time of treaty, if thou wouldst forbear fighting, while I am spea•ing Let him take h s rod away from m•, and let not his fear terrify me. Then would I speak, &c.
