But what is the counsel of the wicked? their counsel may be taken; first, for that dishonourable opinion which they held of God, that he could do nothing either for them or against them. I (saith Eliphaz) am of another mind, of another faith and persuasion. Their Counsel is far from me who ⟨p. 176⟩either deny the providence of God, or think they can hide themselves from the eye of his providence; I believe that his eye beholdeth all, and that his hand worketh whatsoever pleaseth him.
But what is the counsell of the wicked? their counsell may be taken; first, for that dishonorable opinion which they held of God, that he could doe nothing eyther for them or against them. I (saith Eliphaz) am of another minde, of another faith and perswasion. Their Counsel is farre from me who ⟨p. 176⟩eyther deny the providence of God, or thinke they can hide themselves from the eye of his providence; I beleeve that his eye beholdeth all, and that his hand worketh whatsoever pleaseth him.
Secondly, Others by Counsel understand the scope of wicked men; so Calvin reads, the intent of the wicked is far from me; I have other purposes and designs then they have; The ploughing of the wicked (saith Solomon, Pro. 21.4.) is sin; that is, the stirring and plotting of his mind to get his desires satisfied is sinful; I desire not (saith Eliphaz) to put my hand to their plough. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
