And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.

Rememberest. Septuagint, "canst do all things. "Hebrew, "this is with thee. "(Haydock)
I am convinced that thou still regardest me with affection, though it would appear as if thou hadst forgotten me. (Calmet)
82. As if it were in plain words; ‘Why do I tremble for myself, who know that Thou dost gather in one even all nations? Which nevertheless Thou ‘hidest in Thine heart,’ in that Thou dost not yet make it known by open revelation, but Thou That ‘rememberest all,’ givest me, doubtless, assurance of pardon.’ But it is to be borne in mind, that in certain deeds we are both made certain of pardon, and after the commission of the sins are strengthened to have confidence of our absolution by subsequent chastisement and penance, yet we are still touched with the remembrance of the wickedness we have committed, and, unwilling and abhorring it, are preyed upon by unlawful thoughts.
Do you see that “the possibility to know God is manifest in creatures,” that our creation was already sufficient to show me the nature of God and his power, without any help from heaven? Indeed the fact that we are so created from a germ, are supported, are not left in perils, is sufficient to show the strength of God and his power, as well as the fact that a sinner is preserved and not punished, whereas a righteous person is punished and chastised. - "Commentary on Job 10.13"
