So this verse is an elegant conclusion of the whole matter hitherto insisted upon by Eliphaz; and he shuts it up in two parts; first, showing the state of the innocent, who are brought in speaking thus; Our substance is not cut down. strictly, That by which we stand or subsist, our substance or subsistence; which some expound not by goods, but by life; we may take it both ways, our life, and that by which our life is maintained, or by which we and our families subsist, is not cut down.
So this verse is an elegant conclusion of the whole matter hitherto insisted upon by Eliphaz; and he shuts it up in two parts; first, shewing the state of the innocent, who are brought in speaking thus; Our substance is not cut downe. strictly, That by which we stand or subsist, our substance or subsistence; which some expound not by goods, but by life; we may take it both wayes, our life, and that by which our life is maintained, or by which we and our families subsist, is not cut downe.
There is yet a difficulty in regard of the grammatical sense of these words. For Eliphaz having spoken before in the third person plural, The righteous are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorn, should (as it may be thought) rather have continued his speech in the same form, and have said; Whereas Their substance is not down, but he puts it in the first person plural, Whereas our substance is not cut down &c.
