So that this Verse is an explication of the former,1 and gives us more clearly what Eliphaz meant by the Carrying away of the heart, and the winking of the eye: His heart is carried out of all bounds, who turneth his spirit against God: His eye winks sinfully whose mouth presently upon it speaks unduly. Thou winkest with thy eye, thou art very thoughtful, and what the fruit or birth of thy thoughts is, we may discern by thy speech, while thou lettest such words go out of thy mouth.

Thou turnest thy spirit against God.
As if he had said, In stead of humbling thy self under the punishment of thy sin, thou with an incensed mind contestest against God himself: and though while he saith against God, he doth not mean God directly, but God in his judgements and counsels in his Word or in his Works; yet this is a very high charge, one of the highest that is in the whole Book, but very unjust. Indeed Job used some passionate speeches to his Friends, and these Eliphaz judgeth to proceed from an opposition against God.
