Chap. 34, An £xpofition upon the Bookof J o, B. Verf. 6. 521 In this jobwas moll faulty, he uttered many paflìonate fpee- ches about what God had done, becaufe things were not brought to an.iflue, nor his condition Elated an:'. cleared up, either to the world, or tohimfelfe ; This troubledhimmore then the extremi- ty ofhispaine, or the areatefl of his troubles. How fliffely job flood upon it, that his Judgement was taken away , will appeare yet further in the next' words, which Lithe makes further matter of accufation. Verf. 6. Should I lie againfl my right .? my wound is incurable without tranfgref ion. In this verfe we have two other parts of the Inditeiaient brought againfl job, neere of th*fame nature with the former; wherein he yet more vehemently urgeth his owne integrity, and cryeth out both of the greatnefs and caufelefsnefs (on his part ) of his prefent fiafferings. More diflincily Elihe in this verfe chargeth him, Fitt+ , That he did over-eagerly maintaine his ovine caufe, Should I lie againJ? my right ? Secondly , That he fpake of God as dealing over-harfhly with him ; My wound is incurable without tranfgref ton; Thefe things ( faith Eáhu) thouhaft alto fayd. Should I lie against my right ? We read the words as a Queftion ; others read them as a di- reel propofition ; There is a he in fudging me, or, There is a lie In juditanda e- againfl my right ; The word which we here tranfiate right, is the nim me nienda-- fame which we tranflate Tudgement in the former verfe. And Ctüm oft. where he faith, There is a he againff my right It is as if he had Vulg: plainly fayd , I amfal felt' charged, lam wrongfully accufed, I am not filch a man as Iamfuppofed,nor have I done theft things where- ofI am fufpefled. Every falle accufation brought againft a man, is a lie againft his right. Secondly, Others read it thus, I fhall make hers againft nay'Super judt lien right ; that is, whofoever hands up to prove any thingagamfl me, mount fadem as you have done, faying, Iam wicked, unrighteous, or hypocriti-fQ f ivi, i. call, Ifball be able toprove him a lier. But neither the Grammati- boors arguata quz call fignifcation of the words will fairely beare this fence , nor voles mecum cloth it well correfpond with the former verfe,, tontmdere.
