Again, Our Translation distributes the latter part of the verse into two Branches of the mightiness of God. He is mighty, first, in strength; and secondly, In wisdom. This, by others, is rendered a single Proposition. He is mighty in strength of heart. Strength of heart may be taken three ways: First, For courage in dangers. Secondly, For patience in troubles. Thirdly, For nobleness and greatness of mind, in all we do. In this third or last sense, we are to understand it here; as if Elihu had said, The Reason why the Lord being mighty, doth not despise the mighty, is ⟨p. 184⟩this, Because he excels all others, not only in mightiness and power, but in the nobleness of his Spirit. The Lord hath such an heroical Spirit, that he can do nothing below or unbecoming himself. This is an excellent reading of the words. Take two Notes •rom it. First, By way of Assertion. Secondly, By way of Illation. By way of Assertion, thus, The Lord hath a wonderful noble heart, and magnificent Spirit.
