Job10:2

Verſe 2. I will ſay unto God, Do not condemn me] You may ſay ſo, as an humble ſuppliant, but not as holding your ſelf innocent, and therefore harſhly dealt with. The Hebrew is, Do not make me wicked: rather do good, ô Lord, to thoſe that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts; but lead me not forthwith the workers of iniquity, as a melefactor is led forth to execution, Pſal. 125.5.

Shew me wherefore thou contendeſt with me] i. e. Quare ſic me affligas, ſaith Vatablus, why thou thus afflicteſt me, whether for ſin, or for triall; and this Job deſired to know, not to ſatisfie his curioſity, but his conſcience, as one well obſerveth; and that the world might be ſatisfied, the raſh judgment of his friends confuted, and anſwered by a determination from heaven.
