Verse 35. Then would I speak and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
1But is this the use which Job would make of the mercy he begs? Doth he entreat the Lord to take his terrifying fear away from him, and then resolve not to fear him at all? Whose voice is this? Is this the voice of Job, I will speak and not fear him? Jobs character in the first Chapter was, A man fearing God; and dares he now say, I will speak and not fear him? As the fear of God ought to be the seasoning of all our works and actions, so it ought to be the seasoning of all our words and speeches: why then doth he say, I will speak and not fear him?
