Secondly, If Job would not lift up his head, though righteous, what shall we judge of those, who lift up and carry their heads so high, though they are wicked? There is no reason any man should be proud of his goodness, what a madness then is it for wicked men to be proud of, or in their naughtiness!
Secondly, If Job would not lift up his head, though righteous, what shall we judge of those, who lift up and carry their heads so high, though they are wicked? There is no reason any man should be proud of his goodnes, what a madnes then is it for wicked men to be proud of, or in their naughtines!
Thirdly, Though Job was very thankful for, and joyful in, yet he durst not lift up his head, or be proud of the white robes and costly raiment of imputed righteousness. What then shall we say of them, who are proud of the dirty rags and filthy raiment of their own inherent righteousness? A godly man walketh tremblingly, lest he should offend, therefore he saith, If I am wicked, woe unto me: and he walketh humbly, when he doth not offend, therefore he saith, though I am righteous, yet I will not hold up my head. Job hath often breathed out the humility of his soul in former passages, therefore I shall not insist upon it here.1
