Men have been long guessing at the fulfilling of those forty two months, but may we not say to them concerning the birth of that prophecy, in the same sense that the Lord doth here to Job, concerning the particular time when the wild Goats of the rock, and the Hinds bring forth, Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? As the particular time of the Hinds fulfilling her months, so of Scions fulfilling her months of sorrow in this world, is a secret which the Lord hath reserved to himself, and keeps fast locked up in the Cabinet of his eternal counsels. Knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

The Lord having thus questioned Job about the time of the bringing forth of these two creatures, in these two verses, proceeds to question him about the manner of their bringing forth, or the painfulness of it.
