Job36:25

25. Every man may see it : man may behold it afar off .

To wit, his work, last mentioned. The power, and wisdom, and greatness of God is so manifest in all his [illegible: 1 word], that all who are not blind or stupid, must needs see and acknowledge it.

The works of God are so great and conspicuous, that they may be seen at a great distance; whereas little things cannot be seen▪ unless we be near them. This translation and interpretation seems better to agree with the context than that which is more common, M[illegible: 1+ letters] [illegible: 1 word] behold it (i. e. God's work or works) [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word], i. e. They [illegible: 1+ letters]ee them darkly and imperfectly as things at a great distance, but not [illegible: 1 word] and plainly as things near at hand, and therefore they are so ap[illegible: 1+ letters] to mistake them, and misjudge of them.
