because_o he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o speak_v last_o we_o have_v he_o speak_v six_o chapter_n quite_o through_o while_o job_n speak_v not_o a_o word_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o it_o seem_v most_o probable_a that_o when_o god_n come_v to_o speak_v he_o will_v undertake_v he_o that_o speak_v last_o who_o be_v this_o second_o because_o elihu_n have_v not_o carry_v the_o matter_n so_o

rebuke_n upon_o elihu_n and_o there_o be_v many_o learned_a interpreter_n who_o carry_v it_o so_o affirm_v that_o the_o whole_a discourse_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o 38th_o chapter_n to_o the_o

verse_n only_o and_o speak_v comfort_n to_o job_n in_o the_o three_o gird_v up_o thy_o loin_n like_o a_o man_n and_o these_o interpret_v the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o chapter_n then_o the_o lord_n

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

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

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
