JOB Chap. 8. Vers. 8, 9, 10. For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy self to the search of their fathers. (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing; our days upon earth are a shadow) Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
JOB Chap. 8. Vers. 8, 9, 10. For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy self to the search of their fathers. (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing; our daies upon earth are a shadow) Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
WE have opened the first argument, by which Bildad confirms his proposition laid down at the third verse, That God is just; both from the example of Gods dealing with Jobs children, vers. 4. and from what, God was ready to do for him, in the 5, 6, and 7. verses.
The context now read contains a second general argument to prove the former assertion, and it is grounded upon the testimony or authority of the Ancients; as if Bildad had said thus, I will not press thee with my own bare sentence, and say so, with my own reason and authority, but I wish thee to search the records of former times, to consult the wisest and the holiest men that ever were in the world, and let them judge in this case. Enquire of the former age, and prepare thy self to the search of their fathers.
