And thus Job seems to speak here; Though I goo to the North while God worketh, yet I can see no more of him, then of the way of an Eagle in the air, or of a Serpent upon a rock, or of a Ship in the Sea, I cannot behold him while he worketh, nor the way of his working. And further, He hideth himself on the right hand that I cannot see him.
And thus Job seemes to speake here; Though I goo to the North while God worketh, yet I can see no more of him, then of the way of an Eagle in the aire, or of a Serpent upon a rock, or of a Ship in the Sea, I cannot behold him while he worketh, nor the way of his working. And further, Hee hideth himselfe on the right hand that I cannot see him.
1The word which we render hideth, signifieth, to wrap up with a covering, implying that God doth cover himself from the eye of man, in or with the right hand part of the world. Some render it thus; He hideth his right hand, or his working hand, that I cannot see him. We render it well, he hideth himself on the right hand that I cannot see him. The right hand, is put in opposition to the left, mentioned in the former part of the verse. There, in the South, God doth (as it were) purposely and artificially hide, and cast a ⟨p. 367⟩veil over himself (saith Job) lest I should see him there, he keeps himself yet more out of my view and reach then elsewhere. The word which we translate, the right hand, signifies the Southern parts of the world (Cant. 4.16.) Awake O Northwinde, and come thou South, blow upon my Garden. (Exod. 26.18.) On the South (or right) side Southward. The word is also rendered, the right side, (2 Sam. 24.5.) On the right side of the City. Further the word signifies, as the right hand, so also strength, because the right hand is strongest in most men and readyest for use. And so he hides himself on the right hand may import (as was touched before) that God hideth himself even there, where he puts forth his strength and power.
