Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 25:4

4. How then, can man be justified with God ? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman ?

The word signifies Man that is miserable, which supposeth him to be sinful; and that such a Creature should quarrel with that Dominion of God, to which the sinless, and happy, and glorious Angels willingly submit, is most absurd and impious.

i. e. Before God's Tribunal, to which thou doest so boldly appeal. Thou mayst plead thy Cause with thy fellow-worms as we are, and expect to be justified, but wo to thee if the great God undertake to plead his Cause against thee; how severely and certainly wouldest thou then be condemned!

To wit, after the ordinary course; for otherwise Christ was born of a Woman, but in a singular manner. This Birth is alledged as an Evidence of man's filthiness, Io[illegible: 1+ letters] 14. 4. & 15. 14. Psalm 51. 5. and of his liableness to God's Curse and Wrath, Gen. 3. 16. Ephes. 2. 2. and consequently of his condemnation opposite to the justification here mentioned, and confidently expected by Iob in this Contest.
