1The word signifieth properly to answer, and so the text might well enough be rendered here out of the original, he answereth not. Mr Broughton saith, He will not speak for all his dealings. If If any man demand of God a reason of his doings, he may choose whether he will give it him or no: He will not be brought to a reckoning: He will not, he needeth not to answer, or give an account Of any of his matters, or, of any of his words.
