First, That a godly man is careful to understand the answer and determinations of God concerning him.
First, That a godly man is carefull to understand the answer and determinations of God concerning him.
I would know the words that he would answer me, and this not only (according to the supposition which Job makes here) if God should speak to him personally, or mouth to mouth; but in what way soever God should speak to him. It is the great care of a Godly man to know the word of God written and delivered over to us, as the rule of our life and faith; for indeed therein we have our judgement, and our answer: as Christ saith, the words that I speak, they shall judge you at the last day; that is, by the word you shall be judged. Likewise it is the care of a Godly man to understand what God speaks to him by his works and providences, by his rods and chastenings. In these the Lord speaks to us and gives us answers. They who are wise, will study to know and understand them. We may conceive that Job had respect to two things especially, about which he desired that he might understand the answer, and words of God to him.
