Fourthly, The word is applied to any angry passionate chiding and complaining. Thus 'tis used in that famous history (Exod: 17.) where th• people of Israel (having journeyed from Sin and pitched in Rep••••m, v. 1.) did chide with Moses: from which act (v: 7th) He called the place Massa and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not? Because the people of Israel strove with Moses, or rather with God himself, Therefore to keep them under the sense of this sin and provocation, Moses called the name of the place Meribah, which signifieth Striving. In this last sense, as striving is used by way of chiding and complaining we are to understand it here. Why dost thou strive against him? (saith Elihu) That is, why doest thou chide and complain about the dealings of God with thee? or because he will not render thee a reason of his dealings with thee in this affliction. Job made many striving and chiding complaints, his first were eminently such (Chap: 3.11.) Why dyed I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? why did the knees prevent me, or why the breasts, that I should suck? He chideth hard about the hardness of his condition in this life, who chideth because he liveth. Read him in the same language (Chap: 10.18.) and in a language not much unlike it in several other places. Yea Job doth (I say not formally yet virtually) call out or challenge God more then once to plead with him, and make good his cause against him. Why dost thou strive with him?
