1The word rendered rich, signifieth also bountiful (Isa: 32.5.) 'Tis also rendered, The helpful, the saving man; for though rich men are not always helpful with their riches, nor ready to save others in distress; yet rich men may do both: they have always in their hand power and usually opportunity to be helpful to the poor, and to save the distressed. And surely, as the Lord regardeth not the rich more then the poor; so he regardeth those rich men least of all, who have no regard to help and save the poor. Once more, Some derive the word which we translate rich, from a root which signifieth to clamour, or to speak out and boldly, which complies well with that sentence of Solomon (Pro: 18.23.) The poor useth entreaties (that is, he speaketh humbly or by way of supplication) but the rich answereth roughly. And as God regardeth not the rich more then the poor, so he regardeth those rich men least, who speak loudly and roughly to the poor. Having ⟨p. 633⟩thus opened the assertion of Elihu, that God regardeth not the rich more then the poor; let us consider, The reason of it in the next words.
