IN these three verses Elihu presseth the Application of the former Doctrine upon Job, by way of admonition and counsel; forasmuch as he had done amiss before, and carried himself unduly under the hand of God, even so far as to fulfil the counsel of the wicked, that therefore he would now, & for the time to come, take heed, and be more wary.
And lest Job should slight this admonition or counsel, Elihu adds a powerful motive to urge that duty upon him, even the wrath of God; Beware, Why?
Because there is wrath;
Beware, and beware lest (this wrath breaking forth) he take thee away with a stroke. And how dreadful the wrath of God is, Elihu shows in these three verses by a threefold Consideration.
