From all which Job inferreth, that he had cause enough to complain, much more that he did not complain without cause. (Ver. 15, 16, 17.) Therefore am I troubled at his presence when I consider, I am afraid of him, for God makes my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me, because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. Thus you have the parts and scope of the whole Chapter, as 'tis supposed to be an over-bold complaint in reference to the dealings of the Lord with him.
From all which Job inferreth, that he had cause enough to complaine, much more that he did not complaine without cause. (Ver. 15, 16, 17.) Therefore am I troubled at his presence when I consider, I am afraid of him, for God makes my heart soft, and the Allmighty troubleth me, because I was not cut off before the darknesse, neither hath he covered the darknesse from my face.

From all which 'tis concluded,1 that though the Chapter begins with, Then Job answered, and said, yet, that Job doth not answer Eliphaz, nor apply himself to what he had said; but that being wearied with his often repeating, and renewing the same arguments against him, he doth, upon the matter, leave him and his friends, and all discourse with them; turning himself to God, and pouring his sorrows into his bosom; as if the answer were directed to God, and not at all to Eliphaz.
