Job14:3

3. And dost thou open thine Eyes upon such an one , and bringest me into judgment with thee ?

Either 1. To take thought or care about him. Or rather 2. To observe all his ways, that thou maist find cause of Punishment. He is not a fit match for thee. It is below thee to contend with him, and to use thy infinite Wisdom and Power to crush him. This seems best to suit with the scope and context.

i. e. Pleadest with me by thy Judgments, and thereby, in a manner, forcest me to plead with thee, without granting me those Two necessary and favourable conditions, expressed Ch. 13. 20, 21.
