Thirdly, the hiding of God's face, notes not only some distaste, and a denial of help; but a total slight, or refusal of any care concerning us, (Isa. 40.27.) Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgement is passed over from my God; that is, Why sayest thou, the Lord takes no care at all of me, and in that sense Job spake, (chap. 24.1.) Why seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not, see his days? that is, why seeing God doth not neglect times, and seasons, and how things go in the world, (there time is put for things done in time, why (I say) seeing God hath not cast off the care of the things of this world) is it thus with me? Why am I as a man forlorn, and utterly cast off? We may expound Elihu in all or any of these senses; when he hideth his face, or withdraweth his favour that is, when God is displeased and refuseth to help, when God throweth up the care of a mans person, or condition, it cannot but go and be ill enough with him; for as it followeth, Who then can behold him?
