That's it which Elihu would have Job persuaded of; we use to say, Speak when you are spoken to. Then surely we are not to speak otherwise, then we are spoken to; we must not give railing for railing, much less may we rail when railing is not given.
That's it which Elihu would have Job perswaded of; we use to say, Speake when you are spoken to. Then surely we are not to speake otherwise, then we are spoken to; we must not give rayling for rayling, much lesse may we rayle when rayling is not given.
He hath not directed his words against me.
1One of the Ancients Commenting upon this text, saith, Elihu discovers pride in this speech, He hath not directed his speech against me; As if Elihu disdained to take notice of what was spoken to them; which (saith he) is the humour of a proud man; who looks not upon himself as engaged by any thing spoken, ⟨p. 97⟩unless you speak personally and directly to him; whereas Christ speaking personally to his Disciples only, would yet have all men see themselves spoken to (Mark 13.34.) What I say to you, I say to all, watch. Elihu should have taken what Job spake to his three friends, as spoken to all that were present, and so might well enough have spared this complement, as my Author conceives. But I pass that as a curiosity; Especially because it appears plainly enough, that Elihu, though the words were not spoken directly to him, yet did take himself to be much concerned; and therefore riseth up as a Moderator in this Controversy between Job and his three friends. He hath not directed his words against me.
