Vers. 14. For he speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
We render the first word of this verse by that causal particle, For; yet because the text doth not strictly carry a reason in it of what was said before, but is rather an explication or an accommodation of it; therefore some begin the verse, not with that causal particle For, but with an adverb of time, When. So Mr Broughton, When the omnipotent speaketh once, &c. And the reason of it is, because we find another adverb of time answering this at the 16th verse, When God speaketh once or twice, and man perceiveth it not, &c. then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction. As if Elihu had said; If speaking will not do it, somewhat else shall; or when God having spoken once or twice, yet finds man unattentive and unsensible, he takes another course; then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth up their instruction. If they understand not his meaning by dreams and visions, he will awaken them to purpose. We say, For God speaketh.
