Job5:18
18. For he maketh sore, and bindeth up : he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
To wit, the wounds, as good Surgeons use to do when they have dressed them in order to their healing. Comp. Psal. 147. 3. Ezek. 34. 4. The sense is, Though he hath seen it fit to wound thee, yet he will not alwaies grieve thee, but will in due time release thee from all thy miseries. Therefore despair not.
Marginal references: Deut. 32. 3[illegible: 1+ letters]. 1 Sam. 26. Isa. 30. 26. Hos. 6▪ 1.
