the Power and Sovereignty of God are his throne wheresoever he is, and is pleased to declare himself in his sovereignty and power. So that when Job saith, O that I might come even to his seat or throne, the meaning is, O that I might come as near him as possibly I may, ⟨p. 328⟩I would not stand at a distance, or keep aloof off, as a guilty malefactor, but draw near to him in a holy and well-grounded confidence. Thus Job speaks in answer to that Charge of Eliphaz in the former Chapter, Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquities infinite? Now (saith Job) you shall see what my sins are, and what my guilt, seeing I dare venture even to the very throne of God, where no hypocrite dares appear. While Job professeth, That if God after the manner of men should sit in open Judgement (there will be such a Judgement at the last day) he would come near to him, and not be afraid, he seems fully assured of his own integrity, or of the goodness of his cause, as also that God would be good unto him.
the Power and Soveraignty of God are his throne wheresoever he is, and is pleased to declare himselfe in his soveraignty and power. So that when Job saith, O that I might come even to his seate or throane, the meaning is, O that I might come as neer him as possibly I may, ⟨p. 328⟩I would not stand at a distance, or keepe aloofe off, as a guilty malefactor, but draw neere to him in a holy and well-grounded confidence. Thus Job speakes in answer to that Charge of Eliphaz in the former Chapter, Is not thy wickednes great, and thine iniquities infinite? Now (saith Job) you shall see what my sinnes are, and what my guilt, seing I dare venture even to the very throne of God, where no hypocrite dares appeare. While Job professeth, That if God after the manner of men should sit in open Judgement (there will be such a Judgement at the last day) he would come neer to him, and not be afraid, he seemes fully assured of his owne integrity, or of the goodnes of his cause, as also that God would be good unto him.
