Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead.
Those words (According to thy wish) may have a two-fold interpretation; First, as we render, according to thy wish, is, according to what thou hast heretofore spoken or drawn out in wishes; thou hast thy vote, thy wish, and what wouldst thou have more. As if he had said; O Job, I have heard thee wishing such wishes, that thou mightest be more tenderly handled; that God would not oppress thee with his Majesty, nor thy friends with their severity. Now thou hast thy desire, I do here promise my self such ⟨p. 181⟩a one to thee as thou hast desired; For as I will be a faithful advocate for God, so, I, who am in Gods stead, will not (as thou hast prayed God would not at the hearing of thy case) be terrible nor dreadful to thee; I doubt not but to carry the matter with thee to thy hearts content. I am according to thy wish.
