Vers. 13. Lest ye should say, we have found out wisdom; God thrusteth him down not man.
Vers. 13. Lest ye should say, we have found out wisdome; God thrusteth him downe not man.
In the former verse Elihu showed his own disappointment, while he waited upon others; I attended unto you (saith he to Jobs three friends) and behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words; Then follows, Lest ye should say, we have found out wisdom, &c. In which words Elihu proceeds with his Preface, that he might the more fairly fall into discourse with Job; for having told Jobs friends that he had waited in vain, for satisfaction from their answers or replies, they having not convinced him, either by solid reason, or by Authentic Authority and testimony, that he was so bad as they judged him to be; He adds, this I affirm.
