Job 25

Job 25:2

DOminion] hee is the soveraign Lord armed with terrible majesty, therefore none ought to plead against him, as thou O Iob hast desired to doe: but contrariwise, every one ought to submit unto him with all reverence and humility.

Job 25:3

Of his armies] namely his Angels, in whose nature and number, appeareth the greatnesse of his Majesty: [upon whom] by him all men live, and subsist, understand, & discourse, and are guided and directed, Iohn 1. 3 Act 17:28. so that being all that they are, only out of his pure and meere good will, they are not proprietaries in any thing: which propriety must be the ground of all judiciall acton.

Job 25:4

Iustified] how can hee be perfect of himselfe, without the gift of grace. His meaning is, that not only Gods Majesty, but even his own naturall corruption also should keep him from contending with God: [that is borne] namely man that is borne in sin, and under a curse, the signe whereof appeares in the womans bearing and bringing forth, Genesis 3:16.
