Further, wickedness in the former, and iniquity in the latter part of the verse, may be thus distinguished; wickedness specially respects those acts by which we hurt, and wrong others, iniquity, those in which we pass by or neglect the duty which we owe to others;1 and therefore Eliphaz calls his wickedness great, but his iniquities infinite; because sins of omission are more in number then sins of commission; Man fails oftener by not doing the good required, then by doing the evil forbidden. Nature can easier forbear that which it likes, or pleaseth it, then be conversant in that which it likes not, or with which it is displeased.
Further, wickednesse in the former, and iniquity in the latter part of the verse, may be thus distinguished; wickednesse specially respects those acts by which we hurt, and wrong others, iniquitie, those in which we passe by or neglect the duty which we owe to others;1 and therefore Eliphaz calls his wickednesse great, but his iniquities infinite; because sinnes of omission are more in number then sinnes of commission; Man fayles oftner by not doing the good required, then by doing the evill forbidden. Nature can easier forbeare that which it likes, or pleaseth it, then be conversant in that which it likes not, or with which it is displeased.
