Vers. 18. For I am full of matter.
Yea I am under a mighty Constraint; there is a kind of force upon me, The Spirit within me Constraineth me.
Yea I am under a mighty Constraint; there is a kinde of force upon me, The Spirit within me Constraineth me.
I am full of matter.
The Original is, I am full of words; yet of more then words, as appears in the following part of this Chapter; therefore we translate, I am full of matter; that is, I am full of such words as are material; words of truth, words of soberness: I am full of such words as will carry with them a Conviction home to thy Conscience O Job, & silence all thy complaints.1 Or as if Elihu had said to Job's friends, Though ye have spent your store upon Job, yet I have store and plenty by me to spend upon him. Thus he reflects upon them as scanty and short in their undertaking; your Lamps have spent their oil, you have emptied your vessels; so have not I, I am full of matter.
