Job9:14
14. How much less shall I answer him , and choose out my words to reason with him ?
Since no Creature whatsoever can resist his Power, and no man living can search out or comprehend his Counsels and Ways; how can I, who am a poor, contemptible, dispirited Creature; contend with him?
i. e. Answer his Allegations and Arguments, produced against me.
Heb. Choose my words with (or before, or against, as this Particle is used, Deut. 9. 7. Psalm 94. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. Prov. 30. 3[illegible: 1+ letters].) him. i. e. Shall I try whether God or I can choose fitter Words, or stronger Arguments? Or shall I contend with him and expect to get the better of him by using choice, and forcible, and elegant words, as one man doth with another?
