Vers. 5. For Job hath said, I am righteous.
That's the first charge, Job hath said; Elihu gathers up, and collects those passages of Jobs complaint, which he found most faulty, and layeth them (as we say) in his dish; Job hath said; we may well remember, and he cannot deny it, for he hath said it, not once only, but often, not lightly, but seriously and assertingly, I am just, or righteous; that is, I have sufficiently showed my innocency, and the equity of my cause, but I am not permitted to declare ⟨p. 513⟩and hold it forth in such a way as I would, before my Judge; yea the Lord proceedeth with me, not in the ordinary way of Justice, but, being above law, afflicts me, at his pleasure, though I am innocent. This is the sum of what Job said, as often as he hath said, I am righteous.
