Secondly, They note a reverence and respect to the word of God; I would know the words that he would answer; that is, submit to them, I would not oppose the Judgement or Opinion of God concerning me. Though Job did not sit down or acquiesce in the judgement of his friends, yet he would reverence and sit down quietly in the judgement of God, & in the answer which he should please to give. In either of these interpretations, the sense is good. I would know; that is, I would study to find out the mind of God, and understand what he saith to me, and then reverently submit thereunto.

As a man that is accused longs to hear the mind of the Judge, as for others 'tis not much to him what they say for him or against him. As Paul spake in a like case (1 Cor. 4.3.) With me it is a very small thing to be judged of you, or of mans judgement &c. he that judgeth me is the Lord; that is, to his judgement I must stand; He is above all.
