Job 11

^{1 !} Job is unjustly reprehended of Zophar.

^{2 a} Shulde he persuade by his great talke, that he is juste?

^{4 b} He chargeth Job with this, that he shulde say, that the thing, which he spake, ws true, and that he was without sinne in the sight of God.

^{6 c} Which is, not to stand in justifying of thy self: he signifieth that man wil neuer be ouercome, whiles he reasoneth with another, and therefore God must breake of the controuersie, and stop mans mouth.

^{7 !} God is incomprehensible

^{8 d} That is, this perfection of God & man be not able to comprehend the height of the heauen the depth of hel, the length of the earth, the breadth of the sea, which are but creatures: how can he atteine to the perfection of the Creator?

^{10 e} If God shulde turne the state of things, and establish a newe ordre in nature, who colde controle him?

^{12 f} That is, without vnderstanding: so that whatsoeuer gifts he hathe afterwarde, come of God and not of nature.

^{13 g} If thou repent pray vnto him.

^{14 h} Renounce thin owne euil workes, and se that they offend not God, ouer whome thou hast charge.

^{14 !} He is merciful to the repentant.

^{15 i} He declareth what quietnes of conscience and successe in all things suche shal haue, which turne to God by true repentance.

^{18 !} Their assurance that liue godlie.

^{20 k} He sheweth that contrarie things shal come vnto them that do not repent.
