David had those who laid to his charge things that he knew not (Psal. 35.11.) The Jews returned from Babylon to build their City and Temple, were charged with sedition; Jeremiah was charged with treason; Paul was called, a pestilent fellow; and the primitive Christians were generally loaded with slanders by the Heathen. Misreport and reproach are the portion of Saints from the world. And how sadly Job was charged all along by his friends, and how severely censured, hath appeared every where in this Book, especially in the former Chapter (ver. 5, 6, 7.) Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquities infinite? for thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing &c. Had not Job reason to look upon it as a great mercy to be delivered from such a Judge. And hath not every Godly man reason to make Davids choice (2 Sam. 24.14.) Let me fall into the hand of the Lord (for his mercies are great) and let me not fall into the hand of men. Now as men are for the most part over-severe executioners of Gods sentence, so they are usually over-severe Judges in giving their own whether sense or sentence concerning others. And therefore Jobs faith did prophecy this good to himself, That God having heard him, and judged him, he should be delivered for ever from (man) his Judge. And let this be the comfort of the righteous who are oppressed
