That Scripture is a clear glass, wherein we may see how all they will use the Law of God, who do not highly esteem the words of his mouth. We may read Jobs text backward for their character; Their feet have not held his steps, his way have they not kept, but declined, they have gone back from the commandment of his lips. And why so? for they have esteemed the words of his mouth no more then their un-necessary food, no more then the scraps that fall from their Table, no more then (as the Proverb saith) their old shoes. I have esteemed the word of his mouth more then my necessary food.

When Job saith, I have esteemed the word of his mouth, &c. It is, as if he had said, this is enough for me that God hath said it, to make me esteem it.
