These interrogations (we see) are vehement negations, they flatly and peremptorily deny, what they seem doubtingly to enquire. The sense is, It is not good unto thee, yea, it is evil in ⟨p. 439⟩thy sight to oppress, &c. Thou hatest oppression,1 wrong dealing shall not dwell with thee. Job puts these questions, not as if he questioned, whether it were good to the Lord to oppress, or good to destroy the work of his hands, and to shine upon the counsel of the wicked; These were no points of controversy with him, nor did he seek resolution about them. Yea, he therefore begs a reason of the Lord, wherefore he was so oppressed, because he knew it was not good unto Him that he should oppress.
