Lastly, When Elihu said, I will teach thee wisdom; we must not conceive that he looked upon Job as unwise or ignorant; Elihu knew well enough he had not to do with a child or an idiot, but with a man of knowledge, with a man who was skilful in the word of righteousness, whose senses (as the Apostle expresseth it, Heb. 5.14.) were exercised to discern both good and evil. His meaning then, when he said I will teach thee wisdom, was only this, I will teach thee to be wiser and more knowing in some necessary truths, then as yet thou art, or at least, hast appeared to be. Or we may give his sense in the language of the Apostle, (2 Cor. 1.24.) I will teach thee wisdom, not as having dominion over thy faith, but as a helper of thy joy.
