for_o than_o it_o must_v be_v always_o kindle_v even_o against_o the_o best_a of_o man_n doubtless_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o the_o text_n to_o eliphaz_n my_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o

object_v not_o against_o job_n his_o former_a life_n nor_o charge_v he_o as_o have_v do_v wicked_o towards_o man_n or_o hypocritical_o towards_o god_n he_o only_o condemn_v he_o for_o present_a miscarriage_n under_o his_o trouble_n for_o impatience_n and_o unquietness_n of_o spirit_n under_o the_o cross_n three_o that_o which_o elihu_n chief_o object_v against_o job_n be_v the_o justify_n of_o himself_o rather_o than_o god_n as_o he_o speak_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 32d_o chapter_n not_o the_o maintain_n of_o his_o own_o innocency_n nor_o the_o justify_n of_o himself_o before_o man_n indeed_o job_n fail_v while_o he_o insist_v so_o much_o upon_o that_o point_n that_o he_o seem_v more_o careful_a to_o clear_v himself_o than_o to_o justify_v god_n four_o when_o elihu_n speak_v hardly_o it_o be_v more_o out_o of_o a_o true_a zeal_n to_o defend_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o afflict_v he_o than_o to_o tax_v he_o with_o injustice_n now_o because_o elihu_n do_v not_o carry_v it_o with_o a_o bitter_a spirit_n and_o hit_v the_o mark_n much_o better_a than_o his_o friend_n though_o in_o some_o thing_n he_o also_o shoot_v wide_a and_o misunderstand_v job_n therefore_o the_o
