130. How nobly Job when he was in adversity
said: “Pity me, my friends, pity me.” Job xix. 21. That is not a cry as it were of
misery, but rather one of blame. For when he was unjustly
reproached by his friends, he answered: “Pity me, my
friends,” that is, ye ought to show pity, but instead ye assail
and overwhelm a man with whose sufferings ye ought to show sympathy for
friendship’s sake.
