That is,1 Doest thou think there is no wisdom besides thine? art thou at the very border and utmost limit of knowledge and understanding? is all beyond thee ignorance and folly? Hast thou got and engrossed all the learning from others, and reserved it to thy self alone as thy peculiar, with which none must intermeddle without a license obtained from thee? hast thou the monopoly of wisdom? or is all but enough for thee? Shall none of thy neighbours share with thee? This is either a charge of greater arrogancy then the former, Doest thou restrain wisdom to thy self? or at least a charge of greatest uncharitableness; goodness is diffusive, and so is wisdom, and it is the duty of good men to diffuse wisdom. When they have heard the secrets of God, they must communicate them to others, not restrain all to themselves. But I conceive Eliphaz intends only the former charge.

Hast thou got and engrossed all the learning from others, and reserved it to thy selfe alone as thy peculiar, with which none must intermedle without a license obtained from thee? hast thou the monopoly of wisdome? or is all but enough for thee? Shall none of thy neighbours share with thee? This is either a charge of greater arrogancy then the former, Doest thou restraine wisedome to thy selfe? or at least a charge of greatest uncharitablenesse; goodnesse is diffusive, and so is wisedome, and it is the duty of good men to diffuse wisedome. When they have heard the secrets of God, they must communicate them to others, not restraine all to themselves. But I conceive Eliphaz intends onely the former charge.
- 1[Greek or Hebrew] Detrahis ad te; quod sensu in idem recidit cum eo quod est tibi ascribis fraudando alios negatam aliis sapientiam tibi assumpsisti ex divino arcano. Sapientia ultra te suos terminos non porriget? Tygur.〈non-Latin alphabet〉 Detrahis ad te; quod sensu in idem recidit cum eo quod est tibi ascribis fraudando alios negatam aliis sapientiam tibi assumpsisti ex divino arcano.
