Job40:8
Verſe 8. Wilt thou alſo diſannul my judgement?] Doſt thou think to ruin my juſtice, to eſtabliſh thine own innocency? and wilt thou needs be a ſuperiour judge over me? Wilt thou not revoke thy former expoſtulations and complaints againſt me, and with open mouth give me my due glory? Here God ſheweth his diſſatisfaction with Jobs former confeſſion.
Wilt thou condemne me, that thou maieſt be righteous?] Job had bolted out ſome words that either tended to this purpoſe, or ſeemed ſo to do to the juſt grief & offence of his friends. For this therefore he muſt be better humbled, and henceforth learn to abſtain not only from things ſimply evil, but ſeemingly ſo; quicquid fuerit malè coloratum, (as Bernard hath it) whatſoever looks but ill-favouredly.
