Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 23:10

_ _ But — correcting himself for the wish that his cause should be known before God. The omniscient One already knoweth the way in me (my inward principles: His outward way or course of acts is mentioned in Job 23:11. So in me, Job 4:21); though for some inscrutable cause He as yet hides Himself (Job 23:8, Job 23:9).

_ _ when — let Him only but try my cause, I shall, etc.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 23:8-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 23:10

Gold — Which comes out of the furnace pure from all dross.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 23:10

But he knoweth the (f) way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

(f) God has this preeminence about me, that he knows my way: that is, that I am not able to judge his work, he shows also his confidence, that God uses him for his profit.
