We had these words before (Chap 21.16.) Job made use of them there, and here Eliphaz, therefore I shall add but little for explication in this place. In general know, they are a proverbial speech, 1by which the abhorrence of our spirits concerning either things or persons is set forth to the utmost; as when we say to any man, be gone, depart from me, or as Christ to Satan, Get thee behind me, we show our vehement detestation of his person. So when a man saith, such or such a thing is far from me, his meaning is he utterly detests it, or that the thing is the very abomination of his soul. Therefore while Eliphaz saith; The counsel of the wicked is far from me, it is, as if he had said, I cannot endure to have any thing to do either with the wicked, or with their counsel. O my soul come not thou into their secret, unto their assembly O mine honour be not thou united (as dying Jacob bespake his sons Simeon and Levi, Gen. 49.6.)

In generall know, they are a proverbiall speech, 1by which the abhorrence of our spirits concerning either things or persons is set forth to the utmost; as when we say to any man, be gone, depart from me, or as Christ to Satan, Get thee behinde me, wee shew our vehement detestation of his person. So when a man sayth, such or such a thing is farre from me, his meaning is he utterly detests it, or that the thing is the very abomination of his soule. Therefore while Eliphaz sayth; The counsell of the wicked is farre from me, it is, as if he had sayd, I cannot indure to have any thing to doe eyther with the wicked, or with their counsel. O my soule come not thou into their secret, unto their assembly O mine honour be not thou united (as dying Jacob bespake his sons Simeon and Levi, Gen. 49.6.)
