JOB. Chap. 33. Vers. 4, 5, 6, 7. The Spirit of God hath formed me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

IN these four verses, Elihu still prosecutes a discreet prefatory insinuation both of himself and of his intended discourse into the heart of Job, that both might find welcome, and good entertainment there. Elihu had assured him at the third verse, that he would speak in the uprightness of his heart, or that he would deal candidly, and clearly with him. That was a strong argument to gain attention. And in this fourth verse, he argueth with and urgeth Job, to give him attention, because he was a man of Gods making, as Job also was. The same hand wrought them both, and therefore, why should there be a strangeness between them? or an unwillingness to give or receive counsel and help from one another?
