Job29:8
8. The young men saw me, and hid themselves : and the aged arose, and stood up .
Either out of a profound Reverence to my Person and Dignity, or out of a Conscience of their own Guilt or Folly, which they supposed I might either understand by Information from others, or discover by their countenances or carriages in my presence, for which they knew I would reprove them, and bring them to shame or other punishment.
Whilest I either passed by them, or was present with them. See Levit. 19. 3[illegible: 1+ letters] ▪ 1 Kings 2. 19. So great a veneration they had for my Person, [illegible: 1 word] regard of that Wisdom, and Justice, and faithfulness which they discerned in me, and in all my proceedings. And therefore they judged quite otherwise of me than you now do.
