These ⟨p. 234⟩words in the substance of them have been opened (Chap. 4.4.) where Eliphaz tells Job, that he had done, what here he promised he would do, Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees: Thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
