Behold, in this thou art not just.
Secondly, In this, That is, in that thou hast complained so ⟨p. 228⟩much of the severity of Gods dealings and proceedings with thee, (10. & 11.) Behold, he findeth occasion against me, and accounteth me for his enemy; He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths; Behold, in this thou art not just.
1There is a third antecedent, which we may take up from several passages in the former part of the Book; and that is, because thou hast so often and so importunately desired to plead with God, and hast made so many suites for a hearing with him, as if thou hadst somewhat to say, which might acquit thy self and show reason, why God should not deal thus with thee; For though Job did not desire to plead with God as having any intent to accuse him of doing him wrong, yet he was therefore to be blamed, because he desired to plead with him; seeing it becomes man to submit to the judgement of God without murmuring or complaining. So then Elihu had cause to charge him with this; God indeed passed it by, as knowing it did not proceed (as in the wicked) from malice, but from weakness and ignorance, as Job also himself humbly confessed at last. Behold (thou hast too often called for Justice) in this thou art not just.
