Matthew Henry · Verses 1–7
Job had desired a judge to decide his appeal. Elihu was one according to his wish, a man like himself. If we would rightly convince men, it must be by reason, not by terror; by fair argument, not by a heavy hand.
Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Behold, I am towards God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
See, I am the same as you are in the eyes of God; I was cut off from the same bit of wet earth.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
