Secondly, It may be taken actively, The man that lifts up the face dwells in the Earth; What is it to lift up the face?1 it is to Accept Persons in Judgement, to accept him that hath the worst cause, and to reject him that hath the best cause for private ends. As if Eliphaz had said; He that respects persons, that is, who perverts justice, he hath the Earth; and so here seems to be a description of all sorts of wicked men flourishing in Jobs time and under his wing. Some oppress openly; the mighty man;2 the man of arms comes by main force and obtains the earth, or the riches and fatness of the earth; Others oppress secretly and cunningly, they accept persons, and are biassed in Judgement by their own interest and advantages; The man of this strain dwelt in it.
