Secondly, When Elihu saith, I will not answer him with your speeches, he seems to engage that he would deal mildly, with him, or without passion; he would not use bitter words, but debate and argue the matter gently and meekly. For though Elihu gave Job many severe reproofs, yet always in a more friendly manner, not to prove that he had done wickedly, but to convince him that he had spoken overboldly; or that while he was so zealous to defend his own innocency, he sometimes intrencht upon the sovereignty of God, in his eager and earnest desire of pleading his cause before him. And surely it was but need that Job should have a man of a milder temper sent in to speak to him, else his spirit might have been quite over-whelmed and sunk. Nor was it without the special hand of God, that after this poor afflicted soul had been so hardly used, and so grievously censured by those rigid disputants, he should at last mere with a man more meek and compassionate, in some measure, to mitigate and allay his sorrow.
