Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him--(as a temporal deliverer; for he did look for a Redeemer after death, Job 19:25-27; which passage cannot consistently with Elihu's assertion here be interpreted of "seeing" a temporal "redeemer"), Job 7:7; Job 9:11; Job 23:3, Job 23:8-9; yet, judgment . . . ; therefore trust . . . But the Hebrew favors MAURER, "How much less (will God . . . regard, Job 35:13), since thou sayest, that He does not regard thee." So in Job 4:19. Thus Elihu alludes to Job's words (Job 19:7; Job 30:20). judgment--that is, thy cause, thy right; as in Psa 9:16; Pro 31:5, Pro 31:8. trust--rather, "wait thou" on Him, patiently, until He take up thy cause (Psa 37:7).
