There is a fourth reading, which makes the second part of the ⟨p. 199⟩Chapter begin with this verse. For hitherto Eliphaz hath been describing the sinfulness of wicked men, and the wrath of God upon them for their wickedness.1 But here he is supposed entering upon a very serious exhortation to repentance, after this manner, or to this effect; O Job, now while our substance is not quite out down, and the fire consumeth the residue or the remnant of the wicked, acquaint thy self with God; or apply thy self to God, as if he should say, before thou art clean cut down, before thou art utterly ruined as many wicked men have been heretofore, and now are, humble thy self and seek to God, that thy sin may be forgiven, and thy wound healed. Some parallel this in sense with that of the Preacher, Eccle. 12.1. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh wherein thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Thus Eliphaz is conceived exhorting Job, While our substance is not cut down, while we are not totally undone, 2while the fire of Gods wrath is consuming the remainder of wicked men, do thou acquaint thy self with God, and repent. And though our translation makes not this connection, yet it joins fully in the sense of the Original.
