Therefore, thirdly, consider a little further, what occasion had Job given Elihu to say that he had said, I am clean from transgression, &c.

I answer, There are several passages upon which Elihu might pitch this charge; I will only name four texts, out of which, possibly this might arise. First, (Chap: 10. 7.) where Job speaking to God himself saith; Thou knowest that I am not wicked. He appealed to the knowledge of God himself in the thing. The second may be collected from (Chap: 16. 17.) Not for any injustice in my hand, also my prayer is pure. The third, from (Chap: 23. 10.) But he knoweth the way that I take, when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold; My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept and not declined. In the fourth place Elihu might take those words (Chap: 27. 5.) God forbid that I should justify you, till I die I will not remove my integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go, my heart shall not reproach me as long as I live. All these are Job's assertions concerning his own innocency, And these or such like passages as these, Elihu ('tis likely) being an attentive hearer, had observed and picked up as the matter of this first part of his charge, Job's self-justification.
