This is the matter of his new charge, Thou hast said, thou shalt not see him, this is thy sin. And having given him this charge, Elihu gives him counsel according to this translation in the close of the verse, Judge therefore thy self before him, and look for him. We say in our translation, Judgement is before him, that is, before God; this translation saith, Judge thy self before him; and the reason of it is because some take the word here as a Noun,² others as a Verb of the Imperative mood; Judge thy self before him, and then look to him, or trust in him; that is, thou hast failed greatly, and sinned in taking up such a Conclusion as this, that thou shalt not see God, (the sense of which I shall open when I come to our own translation) therefore I advise thee to judge thy self thoroughly, and humbly to acknowledge thy fault. This translation is much insisted upon, and because it hath a profitable sense, I shall note two or three points from the latter part of the verse, where it differs from ours, and then proceed to our own Translation. Job being charged with sin for saying, that he should not see God, is here advised to judge himself, Judge thy self, and look to, or trust in him.
