First, Some interpreters render them as a direct denial of any power seated in or liberty given unto man, to plead, capitulate, or to come in judgement with God; Elihu charging it upon Job, that he had not done well in taking or using such a liberty to complain about his condition; addeth here (according to this interpretation) God neither hath nor will indulge man a liberty (as he hath not given him a just cause) to complain as if he had don him wrong.1 And if man when God hath once declared his mind, and published his sentence, should make his defence or offer to produce his reasonings against it, the Lord will not suffer it, he will not permit man to proceed in such a way, seeing the sentence of God and what he doth upon it is always just, and the right stands ever on his side, as well as the sovereignty is ever vested in him. Master Broughton translates the whole verse to this sense, Therefore it is not for man ever to purpose to enter into judgement before the Omnipotent; there is no appeal from God, nor will he ⟨p. 675⟩admit sinners by any artifices, or delays, to interrupt the progress of his justice.
