Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 13:8

_ _ accept his person — God’s; that is, be partial for Him, as when a judge favors one party in a trial, because of personal considerations.

_ _ contend for God — namely, with fallacies and prepossessions against Job before judgment (Judges 6:31). Partiality can never please the impartial God, nor the goodness of the cause excuse the unfairness of the arguments.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 13:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 13:8

Accept — Not judging according to the right of the cause, but the quality or the person.
