Yet I pass that, and take the word as we read it, to express a distinct affliction, thou hast wearied me in my person, and hast made desolate all my company; What company?
Yet I passe that, and take the word as we read it, to expresse a distinct affliction, thou hast wearyed me in my person, and hast made desolate all my company; What company?
First,1 Some understand it of the company which used to flock to his Synagogue, in holy duties, and exercises: As if he had answered the words of Eliphaz (Chap. 15.34.) The Congregation (or Company) of Hypocrites shall be desolate: Here, saith Job, I grant it, God hath made desolate all my company. The Synagogues, and places of public meeting were wont to be filled, but now that resort is stayed, they are all scattered, or diverted, and those public places are filled with howlings and lamentations. Thus he grants Eliphaz what he had objected, and yet denies what he thence inferred, that he was an Hypocrite.
