Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 11:4

_ _ doctrine — purposely used of Job’s speeches, which sounded like lessons of doctrine (Deuteronomy 32:2; Proverbs 4:2).

_ _ thine — addressed to God. Job had maintained his sincerity against his friends suspicions, not faultlessness.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 11:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 11:4

Doctrine — Concerning God and his providence. Clean — I am innocent before God; I have not sinned either by my former actions, or by my present expressions. But Zophar perverts Job's words, for he did not deny that he was a sinner, but only that he was an hypocrite.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 11:4

For thou hast said, (b) My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

(b) He charges Job with this, that he should say, that the thing which he spoke was true, and that he was without sin in the sight of God.
