Job9:32
Verſe 32. For he is not a man as I am] He is not ſuch an one, nor can be, as I am, and muſt be: he hath other eyes, and thoughts, and wayes then creatures have. He who is juſt before men, is unjuſt before God; therefore he is no fit match for me to contend withal: Have I an arm like God? or can I thunder with a voice like him? chap. 40.9? Is it ſafe to contend with him that is mightier then I, Eccleſ. 6.10? Surely if I ſhould be ſo mad as to juſtifie my ſelf, yet I ſhould ſoon be given to know, that that which is highly eſteemed amongſt men, is an abomination in the ſight of God, Luke 16.15.
And we ſhould come together in judgment] How can that poſſibly be, when as God is the ſupreme Judge; neither is there any appealing from, or repealing of his ſentence?
