Some both of the ancients and moderns expound it ironically, as if the Lord to humble Job, put a scorn upon him in such a tenor as this: Doubtless thou knowest the dwelling of light, and the place of darkness, thou knowest when and how I settled the motions of the heavens, and the changes which they make here in this lower world; 1because thou art as old as the heavens, or contemporary with the worlds creation; Thou wast born sure, when I did these things? As if the Lord had said plainly and reprovingly, Wilt thou who (upon the matter) wast born but three days ago, 2or yesterday, wilt thou take upon he to understand my matters, as if thou couldst number as many years as the whole Creation? Some holding the same sense, render the Text cuttingly enough, thus; If thou sayest thou knowest the way of these things, thou art best also to say, thou wast born, or in being, when these things were done. Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born?
