I find a learned translator among the Moderns, who taking the latter part of the verse as a reason given by Job of his striving with God spoken of in the first,1 yet keeps to the third person; Why dost thou strive with him? Because he will not give an answer (or an account) of all his matters. As if Elihu had said, I plainly perceive the cause why thou (O Job) art so unquiet, and still persistest striving with God, 'Tis even because he doth not answer thy so often repeated desire, to summon thy appearance before him, and then to give thee an account of his proceedings with thee. But consider, man? art thou well in thy wits? knowest thou what thou dost, or sayest? wilt thou a poor narrow-hearted creature take it ill at the hands of the great God, and as it were strive with him, because he doth not render a reason of all his matters, and expound all his doings unto thee? The argument may be formed thus.
