And I shall teach thee wisdom.
And I shall teach thee wisdome.
Elihu may seem to take much upon him, and show himself very confident, when he thus undertook and promised to teach Job wisdom; yet doubtless the ground of his confidence was not in himself, but in Gods assistance; and in Jobs humble silence. As if he had said, I see thou wilt not speak, but hear, hear then, and I shall teach thee wisdom; for God (I hope) will be with us in this matter, and both open my mouth to speak, and thine ears to hear that which is wisdom indeed; having given thee a heart to receive ⟨p. 489⟩instruction, he will instruct thee to profit, and make thee wise to know t•y duty and do it, by my ministry, though a weak and unworthy instrument in his hand.
