3. Is it good unto thee? that is, Doest thou reckon it thine honour to lay thy hand severely upon thy poor creatures? No, it is thy glory to pass by a transgression. Now seeing it it not good unto thee any of these ways, seeing thou hast no gain or profit by it, no joy or delight in it, no glory or honour from it. Show me wherefore thou contendest with me; That's still the burden of this mournful Song, Is it good unto thee That thou shouldest oppress?
