John Trapp on Job 15:13

Verſe 13. That thou turneſt thy ſpirit againſt God.] A fowle fault ſurely, but meerly for want of a faire Interpretation. It is as if Eliphaz ſhould have ſaid, Thy ſpirit was right when thou bravely bareſt up under the afflicting hand of God, chap. 1. but becauſe patience hath not had her perfect work as appeareth by thine angry expoſtulations,Quid tumet contra Deum Spiritus tuus. thy conteſting with God, and chatting againſt him and his proceedings, therefore I conclude that thou art not perfect and [illegible: 1 letter]utire all is not right. Why doth thy ſpirit ſwell againſt God? (ſo the Vulgar rendreth it) Behold his ſoul which is liſted up, is not upright in him, that's certain, Hab. 2.4.

And letteſt ſuch words go d[illegible: 1 letter]t of thy mouth.] Contumelious and blaſphemous words not fit to he named. Bona verba, quaeſo Eliphaz. True it is, Job had ſpoken ſome things more freely then was fitting, and not without a tincture of bitterneſſe. But charity would have made the beſt of thoſe ſpeeches which you thus odiouſly aggravate againſt him; and have taught you to uſe the ſame equity toward others, that you would have others uſe towards your ſelf. That faith (and ſo that love) is eaſily wrought, which teacheth men to believe and think well of themſelves, and worſe of others. We will make a good expoſition, if we have but a good diſpoſition.
