Some (supposing the antecedent to be his afflictions) make out this harsh and unbecoming sense;1 As if Job had thus uttered his mind to God, I now perceive thou hast had coals of anger raked up in the ashes, while those warm beams of love did shine upon me. Thou hast held out mercy in thine hand, but somewhat else lay in thine heart. This interpretation, in the common understanding of it, is most unworthy of God. It is the wickedness of men to speak fair, and to do some courtesies, while cruelty and revenges are hid in their hearts. When Esau (Gen. 27.41.) saw himself defeated of the blessing by his brother, He said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, then will I slay my brother Jacob: Here's the character of malice, he gave neither brother nor mother ill language, but he said in his heart. The holy God never speaks good to them, to whom he intends evil. The Creator needs not daub or prevaricate with his creatures.

When Esau (Gen. 27.41.) saw himself defeated of the blessing by his brother, He said in his heart, The daies of mourning for my father are at hand, then will I slay my brother Iacob: Here's the character of malice, he gave neither brother nor mother ill language, but he said in his heart. The holy God never speaks good to them, to whom he intends evil. The Creatour needs not daub or pervaricate with his creatures.
