Vers. 2. I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Vers. 2. I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are yee all.
We find this point tossed both ways; Jobs Friends telling him, that he spake but ordinary matter, and he telling them that they spake so too. Bildad chargeth Job with it, Chap. 8.2. How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long ⟨p. 211⟩shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind: as if he had said, Thou speakest impertinently, or what thou speakest doth not much concern the point in hand, it comes not up to the matter; yea it is quite besides the mark. And so Zophar (Chap. 11.2.3.) Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified? Thou doest but Verba dare, thou speakest to little purpose, or little to the purpose, though thou speakest much.
