Our reading gives in these words as a charge of mans darkness and slowness to apprehend the meaning of God speaking to us either in his word or works. God speaks once, yea twice, Yet man perceiveth it not.
Our reading gives in these words as a charge of mans darknesse and slownesse to apprehend the meaning of God speaking to us either in his word or works. God speakes once, yea twice, Yet man perceiveth it not.
The Hebrew is, man seeth it not. 1There is an eye in the understanding, the mind of man heholdeth the sense of words, even as his bodily eye beholdeth the colours, and dimensions of any material object: Yet the eye of mans mind is so bleared and dim-sighted that though God speak once, yea twice, he seeth, he perceiveth it not. That is, he doth not clearly perceive it. Elihu makes use of this word six times, Job thrice, Zophar once, in all which places, they intend an exact observation and through speculation of the matter which they treat upon, either in the affirmative or in the negative; here as a rebuke to man Elihu makes use of it in the negative, man perceiveth it not.
