Commentary

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

**3. from afar--**not trite commonplaces, but drawn from God's mighty works. **ascribe righteousness--**whereas Job ascribed unrighteousness (Job 34:10, 12). A man, in enquiring into God's ways, should at the outset presume they are all just, be willing to find them so, and expect that the result of investigation will prove them to be so; such a one will never be disappointed [Barnes].
