5 ! Elhu chargeth Job,that he called him selfe righteous.
5 c That is, hathe afflictied me without measure.
6 d Shulde I say, I am wicked, being an innocent?
6 e I am sorer punished, then my sinne deserueth.
7 f Which is compelled to receiue the reproche & scornes of many for his foolish wordes.
8 g Meaning, that Job was like to the wicked, because he semed not to glorifie God, & submit him selfe to his judgements.
9 h He wrasteth Jobs wordes, who said that Gods children are oft times punished in this worlde, & the wicked go fre.
9 i That is, liue godly, as {Gen 5,22}.

33 b Wil God vse thy counsel in doing his workes.
33 c Thus he speaketh in the persone of God, as thogh Job shulde chuse & refuse affliction at his pleasure.
36 d That he may speake as muche as he can, that we may answer him & all the wicked that shal vse suche arguments.
