¹By the arms of the fatherless, we are to understand whatsoever is the strength, or makes for the defence of the fatherless. The arm (as was touched in the former verse) is put for strength, because the arm hath much strength and activity in it for the defence and use of the whole body. The estate, the friends, the kindred, all the means, helps, and aids which are subservient to the good and protection of the fatherless, are by a figure called the Arms of the fatherless; These arms, saith Eliphaz, Have been broken.

¹By the armes of the fatherlesse, wee are to understand whatsoever is the strength, or makes for the defence of the fatherlesse. The arme (as was toucht in the former verse) is put for strength, because the arme hath much strength and activity in it for the defence and use of the whole body. The estate, the friends, the kindred, all the meanes, helpes, and ayds which are subservient to the good and protection of the fatherlesse, are by a figure called the Armes of the fatherlesse; These armes, saith Eliphaz, Have been broken.

This breaking may be also considered two ways;² either as done by a positive act, or by a negative act; that is, by withholding that help which might preserve them from breaking. The arms of the fatherless are broken by denying them protection as well as by exercising oppression upon them. Thus we see what a bill of indictment is here drawn up against J•b, how he is charged with crimes, which are not only against the light of Scripture, but even against the very light of nature,
