Secondly, Another thus; Will he plead against me with his great power, ¹no, but he would put his heart upon me; that is, he would embrace me with his favour and lay me in his bosom. Though his hand hath been exceeding heavy upon me, yet I believe his heart is towards me; though he hath smitten me with the wound of an enemy, yet he will receive me as a friend; and give me signal testimonies of his love. I should not feel the weight of his hand, but see the tenderness of his bowels and his heart moving towards me. This also is an interpretation full of truth, and as full of comfort to a wearied soul.

Secondly, Another thus; Will he plead against me with his great power, ¹no, but he would put his heart upon me; that is, he would imbrace me with his favour and lay me in his bosome. Though his hand hath been exceeding heavy upon me, yet I believe his heart is towards me; though he hath smitten me with the wound of an enemy, yet he will receive me as a friend; and give me signal testimonies of his love. I should not feele the weight of his hand, but see the tendernes of his bowels and his heart moving towards me. This also is an interpretation full of truth, and as full of comfort to a wearied soule.

Thirdly, The supplement made in our translation reacheth both the former, and suites also to the former branch of the Text, with much elegance;¹ Would he plead against me with his great power, no, but he would put power, or strength into me, he will be so far from putting out his strength against me, that he will put his strength into me, he knoweth my weakness, how unable I am to contend with or bear up against his power, and therefore he would put power into me. Mr Broughton renders clearly to this sense, Would he by his great power plead against me, no, but he would help me; help is power, and he that helpeth another, administers power to him; he either puts new strength into him, or joins his strength with him. So then, Job was assured that God would put strength into him, or be his strength to help and carry him through all the difficulties that lay before him.
