35. Ego, inquit, lux in saeculum veni, ut omnis qui crediderit in me, non maneat in tenebris
Chapter 16—Job Foresaw that Christ Would Come to Suffer; The Way of Humility in Those that are Perfect.
Now it is remarkable312 Quid quod. that the Lord Himself, after bestowing on Job the testimony which is expressed in Scripture, that is, by the Spirit of God, “In all the things which happened to him he sinned not with his lips before the Lord,”313 Job i. 22. did yet afterwards speak to him with a rebuke, as Job himself tells us: “Why do I yet plead, being admonished, and hearing the rebukes of the Lord?”314 Job xxxix. 34. Now no man is justly rebuked unless there be in him something which deserves rebuke.
16. Quid quod ipse Dominus, qui ei perhibuerat testimonium, cum etiam Scriptura, hoc est, Dei Spiritus dixerit, in omnibus quae contigerunt ei, non eum peccasse labiis suis ante Dominum (Job I, 22); postea tamen cum ei loqueretur, increpans locutus est, sicut ipse Job testis est dicens, Quid adhuc ego judicor monitus, et increpationes Domini audiens (Id. XXXIX, 33, sec. LXX)? Nemo autem juste increpatur, nisi in quo est aliquid quod increpatione sit dignum.
