JOB, CHAP. 23. Vers. 8, 9, 10. Behold I go forward but he is not there, and backward but I cannot perceive him. On the left hand where he doth work, but I cannot behold him, he hideth himself on the right hand that I cannot see him. But he knoweth the way that I take, when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
JOB, CHAP. 23. Vers. 8, 9, 10. Behold I goe forward but he is not there, and backward but I cannot perceive him. On the left hand where he doth worke, but I cannot behold him, hee hideth himselfe on the right hand that I cannot see him. But he knoweth the way that I take, when he hath tryed mee, I shall come forth as gold.
IN the two former verses, Job expressed much Confidence of a good issue in his Cause, could he but find God and come to trial. And he reneweth this again at the 10th verse, Expressing the same Confidence; When he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold. But though he was thus Confident of a fair coming off in Case he could find God, yet he seems in these words to cast off all Confidence of finding him; forasmuch as yet he could not, or had not. Expressing himself here as a man that had travelled into all parts and quarters of the world, East, West, North, and South, to find a friend, yet could not meet with him. Behold I go forward but he is not there, and backward but I cannot perceive him. On the left hand where he doth work, but I cannot behold him, he hideth himself on the right hand that I cannot see him.

And he reneweth this againe at the 10th verse, Expressing the same Confidence; When he hath tryed mee I shall come forth as gold. But though he was thus Confident of a faire coming off in Case he could finde God, yet he seemes in these words to cast off all Confidence of finding him; forasmuch as yet he could not, or had not.
