Job 29:25

Verse 25

25. I chose out their way I proved their way. Hitzig.

Way The Hebrew, means, also, “usage,” “conduct,” “mode of life,” Job 23:11; Psalms 5:8; Psalms 27:11. Job was a controlling power among his people, either to the choosing out their way, (Exodus 18:20,) or to the testing, reproving, and censuring their mode of life; not actually a king, but enjoying all the dignity and prerogatives of a prince, even that highest royalty, the solace of the sorrowing, “a reminder for the three who did not really, but only in pretence, comfort the wretched.” Ewald.
