Thirdly, Master Broughton read's thus, Reconcile thee now unto him. That's Gospel language, like that of Paul (2 Cor. 5.20.) Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God. So he conceives Eliphaz speaking here, I pray thee now reconcile ⟨p. 206⟩thy self unto God. Master Beza reaches that sense fully, Return into his favour, 1get into his heart again; God hath as it were locked thee out of his heart, and shut the door upon thee, now get in again; and the Tygurine reads very aptly, Accommodate thy self to him, that is every way suite thy self go […], thou hast heretofore been humorous, or hast followed thine own spirit, and hast laboured to please thy self, now Accommodate thy self to him, or comply with him in every thing, be no more at thine own but at his dispose. All these renderings comply well both with the words and the general scope of Eliphaz in this part of his discourse. Our translation fully joins with the first of them.
