Job20:2
Verſe 2. Therefore do my thoughts cauſe me to anſwer.] q. d. Whereas I had thought, O Job, to have ſpoke no more to thee, (for I ſee I do but loſe my ſweet words) thy laſt, Comminatory expreſſions have altered my reſolution. So nettled I am, that I muſt needſly interrupt thee. And yet think not that I ſhall ſpeak what ſoever lyeth uppermoſt: for I have dipped and dyed my words in my thought, which do now prompt me what to anſwer and bid me make haſte.
And for this I make haſte.]Lavat. Leſt I ſhould forget the particulars of thy ſpeech, whereto I am to anſwer. Munſter rendreth it thus, Et ob is promptitudo mea eſt intra me, as if Zophar had boaſted of his ready elocution, as in the next verſe of his ripe underſtanding. Some render it, E[illegible: 2 letters] this I delight in inſpiring.
