Job35:15

Verſe 15. But now, becauſe it is not ſo, he hath viſited in his anger] Becauſe thou haſt not yet done as I have preſcribed, God is forced thus to treat thee, and to encreaſe his plagues upon thee in great diſpleaſure at thine incorrigibleneſſe. Thus is good Job miſcenſured, whom God ſuffered ſo to be afflicted for his tryal, and not for his puniſhment; though there wanted not in him cauſe enough, if God ſhould have taken advantags. But know now, that his anger hath viſited thee but a little; (this is Beza's tranſlation of the whole verſe) neither hath he made any great inquiſition. Piſcator readeth this and the next verſe thus; But now, because his anger hath not viſited, neither hath he taken notice of the multitude of his ſins very much: therefore doth Job open his mouth with vanity, and heap up words without knowledge. Tremellius thus, For now, becauſe there is nothing of theſe, doth his anger viſit thee: viz. becauſe thou neither rightly judgeſt thy ſelf, nor waiteſt upon God: but lookeſt upon thy ſelf as utterly undone, caſting away all hope of better, therefore art thou yet held under.

Yet he knoweth it not in great extremity] Job perceiveth not (ſo blind he is) though he have his back-burden of afflictions, and knows not how to be rid of them. This, Elihu ſpeaketh to the company, by an angry Apoſtrophe.
