Vers. 13. And thou sayest, how doth God know?

:391p. 120

As if Eliphaz had said, thou art so far from making that right improvement which thou oughtest of these truths, that the Lord is in the height of heaven, and that he hath made those high and glorious lights in heaven, that indeed thou doest quite pervert his meaning in making them; Thou sayest, how doth God know? In stead of honouring God who formed these lights, thou art darkening his honour, and eclipsing the light of his omniscience. For whereas thou shouldest have said, seeing God is on high, and hath made the Stars, which are so high, surely nothing can be hid from his knowledge, Thou sayest, How doth God know? And there is a twofold saying of this; first, a saying with the tongue; secondly, with the heart; The vain heart of man hath many sayings, and this among the rest,¹ How doth God know? (Psal. 14.1.) The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. And he that saith in his heart, How doth God know? speaks as foolishly as that fool doth, who saith, There is no God. To deny that or doubt whether God knoweth all things, is not only to doubt but to deny that God is at all; He is not God who knoweth not all things.

In stead of honouring God who formed these lights, thou art darkning his honour, and ecclipsing the light of his omniscience. For whereas thou shouldest have sayd, seeing God is on high, and hath made the Starres, which are so high, surely nothing can be hid from his knowledge, Thou sayest, How doth God know? And there is a twofold saying of this; first, a saying with the tongue; secondly, with the heart; The vaine heart of man hath many sayings, and this among the rest,
