If he did it in a heat of passion, God will not deal with him, as if he had done it in cold blood (as we say) or with a settled resolution. The Lord will not call a slip of the tongue an error of the mind, much less a minded nor. God know the intent and ⟨p. 34⟩purpose of every man that speaks; he weighs not only our actions, but words; he knows not only what we say, but why, and with what aims we say it: and therefore he never urgeth any mans sin beyond it self. Job had darkened the Counsel of God only by words without knowledge, therefore God would not charge him to have darkened his Counsel, knowingly, or against the light of knowledge. Yea, notwithstanding this fault, the Lord having reproved him for it, proceeds presently (as some interpret the next verse) to comfort and encourage him.
