JOB CHAPTER 13
Job’s friends not wiser than he: he would reason with God; but they were liars, and talked deceitfully for God, who would search and reprove them for accepting persons, Job_13:1-10. God’s excellency, and they as ashes and clay, Job_13:11,12. He is resolute, being in extreme misery, and having confidence in God, before whom he would speak, and God should save him; not so with a hypocrite, Job_13:13-16. He ordereth his cause to plead with God; only desireth a removal of God’s hand upon him, Job_13:17-22. His request to know his sins and God’s purpose, since God delighteth not in our misery, Job_13:23-28.
All this which either you or I have discoursed concerning the infinite power and wisdom of God, I know, both by seeing it, i.e. by my own observation and experience, and by hearing it from my ancestors; so that I did not need your tedious and impertinent discourses concerning those matters.
