John Trapp on Job 40:14

Verſe 14. Then will I alſo confeſſe unto thee, &c.] Or, I will give praiſe unto thee, as thou by right ſhouldeſt do to me: not for my goodneſſe only, but for my greatneſſe and majeſty alſo, in deſtroying the wicked. See David doing it, Pſal. 18.27. and Moſes, Exod. 15.1. and the whole quire of heaven, Revel. 19.1, 2.

And that thine own right hand can ſave thee] That [illegible: 1 letter]hou art ſelf-ſufficient, and my compere;Et ego quoque praedicabo te beroa. Tig. ſtrong enough to maintain thine own cauſe, and that thou haſt ſome ſhew of reaſon to withſtand me. This is that which we all naturally (but fooliſhly) fancy. viz. that we are petty-gods within our ſelves: we would be abſolute and independent; when in truth all that we have is derivative; the Churches beauty is borrowed, Ezek. 16. and we may ſay of all that we are, as he did of his hatchet, Alas Maſter, I borrowed it, 2 King. 6.5.
