¹The word notes an utter breaking, a breaking to pieces; To break, as a thing is broken in a Mortar with a pestle. 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, ⟨p. 83⟩even with those crimes which his hand was far from, and his heart further from, with those crimes which he did not only forbear to practice, but which his soul did abhor.
