Secondly, Others render, He maketh them know or acknowledge their works; The Lord at last by sore, and severe judgements, will extort confessions from the worst of them, he will make the mighty acknowledge that their works have been nought, and their ways perverse. In Scripture the same word signifies to know, or to confess and acknowledge. Thus here, he makes them to know or to acknowledge what their works have been.

Thirdly, Rather take it, as we render,1 of Gods act in taking notice of all they had done; Therefore he knoweth their works: As if Elihu had said, these mighty men of the earth, thought themselves under covert, or that the Lord took no notice of them, nor of their works, their works were done in the dark, and they supposed the Lord could not pierce into them; but he will make it appear, that he knew their works, when he maketh his justice appear in punishing them for their works.
