JOB, CHAP. 23. Vers. 11, 12. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips, I have esteemed the words of his mouth more then my necessary food.
JOB, CHAP. 23. Vers. 11, 12. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandement of his lips, I have esteemed the words of his mouth more then my necessary food.
AT the 21th and 22th verses of the former Chapter, Eliphaz having sharply rebuked Job, gave him very wholesome and holy counsel. Acquaint thy self now with him, and be at peace, receive the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. In these two verses Job professeth that he had done so; that he had kept close to God, followed him step by step, that he had not declined, or turned back, and that he had done all this out of pure love to the word. So that each member of this context seems to carry a direct answer to every member of that counsel which Eliphaz had there given him; As first, to that of Eliphaz, Acquaint thy self with God, (he saith) I have held his steps. That man takes and holds near acquaintance with another, of whom it may be affirmed, that he treads in or holds his very steps. Again, Eliphaz advised Job thus; Receive the Law at his mouth; Job answers, I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips, &c.

Againe, Eliphaz advised Job thus; Receive the Law at his mouth; Job answers, I have not gone back from the commandement of his lips, &c.
