1. God: thou hast in effect undertaken to teach God how to govern the world. Or rather,
2. Me, whom you take to be a man void of understanding, Job_11:2,3, whom therefore you should have instructed with wholesome counsels, instead of these impertinent discourses; and who indeed do want wisdom, being perfectly at a loss, and not knowing what to say or do.
The thing as it is, Heb. essence, the truth and substance of the thing in question between us; thou hast spoken the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and all t can be said in the matter. Or,
wisdom, as this word is used, Pro_3:21. A most wise and profound discourse thou hast made, and much to the purpose: an ironical expression, as before.
