A good mans sayings are often worse then his meanings.
Elihu rebuketh his speeches, not his spirits; his words though in some respect true, yet were dangerous, and because not well explained by himself, scandalous to others, But his heart was not treacherous, not the bent of his mind wrong set, in uttering them. Evil men may speak good words, but 'tis with a bad heart; Good men sometimes speak bad and offensive words, yet with honest hearts; and when their minds are serene, and they cleared from those clouds of perturbation, which have darkened them, they (as Job) are ready to recant them, and repent of them.
