Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 13:7

_ _ deceitfully — use fallacies to vindicate God in His dealings; as if the end justified the means. Their “deceitfulness” for God, against Job, was that they asserted he was a sinner, because he was a sufferer.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 13:1-12.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 13:7

Will ye speak (c) wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

(c) He condemns their zeal, who did not have knowledge, nor regarded they to comfort him, but always granted on God's justice, as though it was not evidently seen in Job, unless they had undertaken the probation of it.
