Job36:19

Verſe 19. Will he eſteem thy riches?] Tremellius rendreth it, Thy Nobility. Others read it thus, Will be regard thy crying in thine adverſity? Or, That thou ſhouldſt not abide in adverſity? See Proverb. 10.2. and 11.4. with the Notes.

No, not gold] Which yet can do much with men. The Hebrew word ſignifieth, fineſt gold, Job. 22.24. and hath its name from defending, becauſe gold is a mans defence: With men it may be ſo, but not with God, Zeph. 1.18. See the Note there. Others read it, No not in affliction.

Nor all the forces of ſtrength] Which are poor things in compariſon of God, whoſe weakneſſe is ſtronger then men,Conantia frangere fra[illegible: 1 letter]gunt. 1 Corinth. 1.25. He need but to ariſe, and his enemies ſhall be ſcattered: yea, all that hate him, ſhall flye before him, Pſal. 68.1. As the Rocks repel the greateſt waves, ſo doth God his enemies.
