Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquity infinite?
Is not thy wickednesse great, and thine iniquitie infinite?
But hath Job given Eliphaz any just occasion of this surmise, that his sin was in this sense infinite? Did he ever observe either wickedness in general, or those particular wickednesses which he presently enumerates, taking a pledge, denying relief of the poor, stripping the naked, &c? had he seen any of these evils acted by Job? certainly he had not; Job was a ⟨p. 46⟩man of another frame of life then these things import; these black lines and colours would never make the picture of Jobs heart or life; this is as ill a draught of a man as could be made; yet Eliphaz puts all this upon Job, at least by supposition; is it not thus? but what reason had he for this supposition? none but this, the greatness of his affliction; the infinite troubles that were upon him; God set no bounds to Jobs sorrows, therefore he thought Job had sinned beyond all bounds.
