JOB. Chap. 33. Vers. 12, 13. Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, That God is greater then man. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
IN these two verses Elihu gives the first part of his answer, wherein we may take notice of these five things; First, He tells Job that he had erred and was mistaken, Behold, in this thou art not just. Secondly, He showeth him wherein he had been mistaken, or what his error was; In this thou art not just, or, Behold this, thou are not just in it. Thirdly, Elihu lays down the general ground, upon which he intended to convince Job of his error and mistake, The greatness of God, I will answer thee that God is greater then man. Fourthly, from that ground he draws out a check or reproof, in the beginning of the 13th verse, Why dost thou strive against him? Fifthly and lastly, He gives a reason of that reproof, which ariseth also out of the former ground, the unquestionable Sovereignty of God; For he giveth not account of any of his matters.

Thirdly, Elihu lays downe the generall ground, upon which he intended to convince Job of his error and mistake, The greatnesse of God, I will answer thee that God is greater then man. Fourthly, from that ground he drawes out a check or reproofe, in the beginning of the 13th verse, Why dost thou strive against him?
