Job 4:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. But now it is come upon thee - Now it is thy turn to suffer, and give an example of the efficacy of thy own principles; but instead of this, behold, thou faintest. Either, therefore, thou didst pretend to what thou hadst not; or thou art not making a proper use of the principles which thou didst recommend to others.
