569:1
V ers. 7, 8. — Nunquid primus homo tu natus es, et ante colles formatus? Nunquid consilium Dei au- disti, et inferior te erit ejus sapientia? 32. Dum divinam gloriam defendere videntur, suae prospiciunt. — Ac si verbis apertioribus dicat: g Qui de aeterno loqueris pensa quia temporalis es, qui de ejus sapientia disputas, pensa quia ejus consilium ignoras. Sed quia ad hoc haeretici verba dominicae defensionis assumunt, ut docti esse videantur, et dum divinam gloriam defendere videntur, suam scientiam hominibus innotescant, ipsa hoc Eliphaz subjuncta verba testantur, qui loqui quidem de sa- pientia Dei coepit, sed statim ad suam elationem ce- cidit, dicens: V ers. 9.
Verses 7, 8: 'Were you the first man born, and were you formed before the hills? Have you heard the counsel of God, and shall His wisdom be inferior to you?' 32. While they seem to defend the divine glory, they look to their own. — As if he said in plainer words: 'You who speak of the Eternal, consider that you are temporal; you who dispute about His wisdom, consider that you are ignorant of His counsel.' But because the heretics take up the words of the Lord's defence for this purpose — that they may seem learned, and while they seem to defend the divine glory may make their own knowledge known to men — these very words subjoined by Eliphaz bear witness, who indeed began to speak concerning the wisdom of God, but straightway fell to his own self-exaltation, saying: Verse 9.
第七、八節：「你是頭一個生下來的人嗎？你是在諸山之先受造的嗎？你曾聽見神的謀略嗎？祂的智慧豈次於你嗎？」32. 他們一面彷彿在維護神的榮耀，一面卻顧念自己的榮耀。——彷彿他用更明白的話說：「你談論永恆者的，當思想你是屬時間的；你辯論祂智慧的，當思想你不知祂的謀略。」但因為異端拿起維護主的話語，目的是要顯為有學問，並在彷彿維護神的榮耀之際將自己的知識顯揚於人前——以利法接著所說的這些話正可作見證：他固然開始談論神的智慧，卻立刻墮入自高自大，說：第九節。
569:2
— Quid nosti quod ignoremus? quid intel- ligis quod nesciamus? 405 Quae videlicet dicta patenter ostendunt ex qua mentis elatione prodeat quidquid quasi ad Domi- nicam defensionem sonat. Sequitur:
'What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we are ignorant of?' These words indeed plainly show from what exaltation of mind proceeds whatever sounds as if for the Lord's defence. There follows:
「你知道什麼是我們所不知道的呢？你明白什麼是我們所不明白的呢？」這些話確實清楚地顯明：凡聽起來彷彿是為維護主而發的言論，究竟出於怎樣的心靈自高。接著說：
