Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 23:7

_ _ There — rather, “Then”: if God would “attend” to me (Job 23:6).

_ _ righteous — that is, the result of my dispute would be, He would acknowledge me as righteous.

_ _ delivered — from suspicion of guilt on the part of my Judge.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 23:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 23:7

There — At that throne of grace, where God lays aside his majesty, and judges according to his wonted clemency. Dispute — Humbly propounding the grounds of their confidence. So — Upon such a fair and equal hearing. Delivered — From the damnatory sentence of God. This and some such expressions of Job cannot be excused from irreverence towards God, for which God afterwards reproves him, and Job abhorreth himself.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 23:7

(d) There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

(d) When he of his mercy has given strength to maintain their cause.
