In the former part of the verse, he saith; Thou hast sent the widow away empty; charging the sin personally upon Job; here he only saith; The arms of the fatherless have been broken; As if he did not place the fault directly upon him; yet some translate it so; Thou hast broken the arms of the fatherless; making it Jobs act; However our rendering lays fault enough ⟨p. 82⟩upon him, and leaves him in particular without excuse, while it speaks only in general; The arms of the fatherless have been broken. For it is as if he had said; thou hast permitted their arms to be broken; And if he should object; what if the arms of the fatherless have been broken? what is that to me? Yes; you being in place and power, and having strength in your own hands to preserve the fatherless, if the arms of the fatherless have been broken, the sin must lye at your door: Every man is guilty of all the evil, which he hath power and a call to hinder, and doth not hinder.
