First, For the way of their sins. Secondly, For the way of their punishment.
First, For the way of their sinnes. Secondly, For the way of their punishment.
First, Hast thou marked the old way of their sin? and the old way of their sin may be Considered under a twofold notion.
First, Hast thou marked the old way of their sinne? and the old way of their sinne may be Considered under a twofold notion.
First, As it was the way of their opinion. Secondly, as it was the way of their practice: Some restrain it here to the way of their opinion, and Interpret Eliphaz as chiefly intending that; Hast thou observed the old way; that is, the old Erroneous opinions which were in the first ages of the world? In those times there were not a few like thy self, who either flatly denied or belied the providence of God, who said (as thou doest) How doth God know? Surely he hath forsaken the earth, and intermeddles not with what is done here below. Thus a learned Interpreter expounds the Text,1 with reference to their ungodly opinion; They (saith he) who lived in the time of the flood denied Providence; Hast thou (O Job) marked their opinion and Considered it? And that this wicked Error did prevail in those times, may be Collected from what is reported by Berosus of the Giants (of whom we read in the 6th of Genesis ver. 4th, There were Giants in the earth in those days) Among other of their abominations, this (saith he) was one, or this was a Chief one, the root, or source of them all, they blasphemed God, and contemned Religion, they thought there was no Supreme Power, none to whom man was accountable for any of his actions. Hast thou marked this old way of Error?
