Then Job answered the Lord, and said.
] For though he had said he would answer no more, ( Job 40:5 ) ; yet he might
mean not in the manner he had, complaining of God and justifying
himself; besides he might change his mind without any imputation
of falsehood or a lie; see ( Jeremiah
20:9 ) ; to which may be added, that he had then said all he
had to say, and did not know he should have more: he then
confessed as much as he was convinced of, but it was not enough;
and now through what the Lord had since said to him he was more
convinced of his ignorance, mistakes, and sins, and had such a
sight of God and of himself, that he could not forbear speaking;
moreover an injunction was laid upon him from the Lord to speak
again, and therefore he was obliged to give in his answer; see (
Job 40:7 ) .
