Vers. 4. I will answer thee, and thy Companions with thee.
Elihu makes overture of answering before he answers, and tells him he will, before he doth it; I will answer thee, or I will return thee words. Answering is the returning of wo•ds to words; yet not of empty words, but of words filled with Reason and Authority to resolve him that is doubting, or to convince him that is gain-saying. I will answer thee, And thy Companions with thee.

I will speak that which shall not only take off thy Objections, but theirs also who are of thy mind, or join in Opinion with thee; I will answer thee, and thy Companions with thee: I will do both at once; when I have answered thee, they also will be answered; one answer will serve thee and them.1 One Line will mark and measure both Walls.
