Job9:17

17. For he breaketh me with a tempest , and multiplieth my wounds without cause .

This is the Reason of his foregoing Diffidence, that even when God seemed to answer him in words, yet the course of his actions towards him was of a quite contrary nature and tendency.

As with a Tempest; i. [illegible: 1+ letters]. unexpectedly, violently, and irrecoverably:

Not simply without any desert of his, or as if he had no sin in him; for he oft declares the contrary, but without any evident or special cause of such singular Afflictions; i. e. any peculiar and extraordinary guilt, such as my Friends charge me with.
