Vers. 14. Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth it not.

:407p. 125–126

This verse is but an explication of the 13th, Can he see through the dark cloud? There he puts the question, here he gives a peremptory answer, he cannot certainly; for, Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he cannot see. The Hebrew for thick ⟨p. 126⟩clouds is but one word,¹ which in the root, signifies Thickness, or, to be thick. Some clouds have a kind of thinness in them, and are as it were transparent. Others are more gross and opacous, quite hindering and intercepting our sight of all that is beyond them, with these (saith Eliphaz) thou O Job, vainly conceitest, that the sight of God also is intercepted, so that, as we cannot see God, so God cannot see us; A veil of thick clouds seclude his sight. Nor is this the only reason why thou art overcome with this ignorant persuasion. Thou hast a second, which though possibly thou wouldest conceal, yet will not I, and this is it Thou also sayest,
