Job 6:13

“[Is] my help in me? etc.] Or “my defence” f260, as some; is it not in my power to defend myself against the calumnies and reproaches cast upon me? it is; and, though one have no help in myself to bear my burdens, or extricate myself out of my difficulties, yet I have the testimony of a good conscience within me, that supports me; and I have the strength and force of reason and argument on my side, to defend me against all objectors: and is wisdom driven from me? either sound doctrine, the law f261, or, rather, the Gospel, the wisdom of God in a mystery, revealed in the words of the Holy One before mentioned; or wisdom in the hidden part, the fear of God, which is wisdom, true grace in the…”

Job 6:14”

“Is not my: Job 19:28; Co2 1:12; Gal 6:4 and is wisdom: Job 12:2, Job 12:3, Job 13:2 Job 6:14”
