Thirdly, 'Tis a terror to an hypocrite to remember, that God knoweth his ways. That which Job saith of the wicked in general, is most proper to hypocrites (Chap. 24.17.) The morning is to them even as the shadow of death; if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. The Hebrew is very concise, if know; we make up the sense thus, if one know them, that is, if God or man know them and their ways, if they be apprehended ⟨p. 378⟩and discovered, any way, in their abominable ways, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death; that is, they are ready to dye with the fright and terror of it. Hypocrites are so far from rejoicing in this, that God knows the way which they take, that to be known either of God or man is their torment.

Thirdly, Consider why doth Job appeal to God in this Cause depending between him and his friends? The reason was, because he knew his friends mis-judged him through their ignorance; Therefore he desired to be heard by a Judge, that perfectly knew his ways, and so was able to make a righteous judgement of him.
