The Hebrew thus, Hath any man hardened himself against God, and had peace? Mr Broughton renders near it, Hath any man hardened himself against God, and found quietness? To have peace or quietness, and to prosper, are the same in the language of the Jews, and in a hundred Texts of the old Testament.1

- 1Nemo pertinax gloriari potest, quod post consecutam victoriā, pace potitus fuerit. Pined. Nemo cum Deo pugnans, sic eum assidua pugna fatigavit, ut pacem accipiat ultro à Deo oblatam. Idem.Nemo pertinax gloriari potest, quod post consecutam victoriā, pace potitus fuerit. Pined. Nemo cum Deo pugnans, sic eum assidua pugna fatigavit, ut pacem accipiat ultro à Deo oblatam. Idem.
We may understand Job either of these three ways.
We may understand Job either of these three waies.
First, No pertinacious hard hearted man could ever glory that he got the better, or the day of God, and so prospered into a peace by war; that's a way of prosperity, in which he shall never tread. Gideon told the men of Penuel, When I come again in peace; that is, when I have conquered and return prosperous, then, &c. No man ever conquered God, and so returned in peace. Peace was never the trophy of a war with him.
