JOB Chap. 10. Vers. 2, 3. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me, show me wherefore thou contendest with me. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress? That thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
JOB Chap. 10. Vers. 2, 3. I will say unto God, Doe not condemn me, show me wherefore thou contendest with me. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppresse? That thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
IN the former verse, Job resolved to complain, in this second he begins his complaint; I will say unto God &c. He complains to God, not against God. He leaves his complaint upon himself, but he tendereth and presenteth it before the Lord, I will say unto God.
What he saith may be cast into a double request; 1. That God would not condemn him. 2. That he would instruct or convince him; as if he had said, ⟨p. 430⟩Lord, do not use thy absolute power to destroy me; Do not reject me, because thou wilt? Show me the reason of thy proceedings, that I may either sit down contented with what is amiss in my state, or reform and amend what is amiss in my life.
