1599 Geneva Bible: "Repentance"

Job 39:34-38 “Moreover the Lord spake unto Job, and said, is this (i)to learn, to strive with the Almighty? He that reproveth god, let him answer to it.
Then Job answered the Lord, saying, Behold, I am (ii)vile: what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Once I have spoken, but I will answer no more, yea twice, but I will proceed no further. ”

2 Samuel 12:13 “Then David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath (iii)put away thy sin, thou shalt not die”

i.Is this how a man will learn, by striving with God? Which thing God rebukes in Job.
ii.Whereby Job shows that he has repented, and desired pardon for his faults.
iii. For the Lord only seeks but that the sinner would turn to him.
