Job 4:17
_ _ mortal man ... a man — Two Hebrew words for “man” are used; the first implying his feebleness; the second his strength. Whether feeble or strong, man is not righteous before God.
_ _ more just than God ... more pure than his maker — But this would be self-evident without an oracle. |
Job 4:17
More just — Pretend more strictly to observe the laws of justice? Shall (enosh) mortal, miserable man (so the word signifies) be thus insolent? Nay, shall geber, the strongest and most eminent man, stand in competition with God? Those that find fault with the directions of the Divine law, the dispensations of the Divine grace, or the disposal of the Divine providence, do make themselves more just and pure than God: who being their maker, is their Lord and owner: and the author of all the justice and purity that is in man. |
Job 4:17
Shall mortal man be more (l) just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
(l) He proves that if God punished the innocent, the creature would be more just than the creator, which was blasphemy. |
