But where did he say, My wound is incurable without transgression; Elihu might collect that from (Chap: 9.17.) He breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause; and from (Chap: 16.16, 17.) My face is foul with weeping, &c. not for any injustice in my hands. While Mary washed the feet of Christ with her tears (Luke 7.38.) she might be said to foul her own face with her tears. Tears, which (in a qualified sense, or as a token of true repentance) wash and cleanse the soul, do yet blubber and disfigure the face. My face (saith Job) is soul with weeping, though my hands are not foul with sinning, or any evil doing. This was, in effect to say what Elihu here censureth him for saying, My wound is incurable without transgression.
