that_o he_o be_v not_o speak_v for_o job_n against_o elihu_n but_o for_o elihu_n against_o job_n that_o be_v to_o humble_a job_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v join_v in_o with_o elihu_n and_o use_v the_o very_a same_o argument_n in_o the_o main_a as_o will_v appear_v in_o open_v the_o chapter_n which_o elihu_n have_v insist_v upon_o namely_o from_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o

of_o it_o very_o consentaneous_a or_o like_a to_o the_o matter_n which_o elihu_n have_v handle_v and_o insist_v upon_o especial_o in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o his_o speech_n to_o job_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v probable_a that_o god_n will_v reprove_v he_o for_o what_o he_o have_v speak_v four_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o rebuke_n seem_v to_o fit_a job_n very_o full_o for_o therein_o he_o be_v not_o charge_v with_o any_o falsity_n or_o gross_a mistake_n he_o indeed_o have_v speak_v of_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n of_o his_o own_o innocency_n and_o piety_n with_o the_o reward_n of_o both_o true_o and_o worthy_o but_o only_a with_o obscure_v and_o darken_n the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v utter_v his_o speech_n bear_v much_o of_o the_o image_n of_o

second_o note_v it_o be_v best_a not_o to_o do_v or_o forbear_v to_o do_v that_o which_o we_o can_v but_o see_v if_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n in_o our_o head_n will_v be_v dangerous_a to_o we_o in_o

and_o do_v no_o more_o will_v any_o wise_a man_n engage_v in_o danger_n which_o can_v produce_v no_o profit_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o do_v and_o do_v again_o though_o our_o
