Job35:12
Verſe 12. There they cry, but none giveth anſwer] Cry they do, but not to the true God, Jon. 1.5. The Papiſts have their he-ſaints, and ſhe-ſaints, for ſeveral uſes. Or if to the true God, yet not in a due manner: not in faith, and with remorſe for their miſdoings. And hence it is, that either they are not heard and helped: or not in mercy, but for a further miſchief, and to furniſh out their indictment at the laſt day: and on their death-beds, God will not come at them, or be intreated by them, Prov. 1.28. Pſal. 18.42.
Becauſe of the pride of evil men] i. e. Becauſe theſe oppreſſed ones that thus cry, are not ſo poor as proud; humbled they are, but not humble; low, but not lowly. Plectuntur, ſed non flectuntur: they have loſt the fruit of their afflictions, and are not a button the better for all that they have ſuffered.
