Another reading of the words, representeth Job bespeaking God in prayer, mixed with complaining, If I were righteous, 1yet cannot I lift up my head, be thou satisfied with confusion, and behold my affliction. So M. Broughton. As if Job had said, Let it be enough, Lord let it now suffice, give me some ease, that I may lift up my head, a little before I lay it down for altogether. Thus David prayed (Ps. 39.11, 12.) When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth, surely every man is vanity, O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence & be no more. When Nehemiah was humbling himself, and confessing his sin, and the sin of that people, he concludes according to this interpretation, ⟨p. 550⟩(Chap. 9.32.) Let not all the trouble seem little before thee that hath come upon us, on our Kings, on our Princes, and on our Priests, and on all thy people; as if he had said, Lord, consider that now we have been greatly punished, though we have been punished less then our sins deserve. Thou mayest justly inflict more, but we are not able to endure more.
