Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 34:6

_ _ Were I to renounce my right (that is, confess myself guilty), I should die. Job virtually had said so (Job 27:4, Job 27:5; Job 6:28). Maurer, not so well, “Notwithstanding my right (innocence) I am treated as a liar,” by God, by His afflicting me.

_ _ my wound — literally, “mine arrow,” namely, by which I am pierced. So “my stroke” (“hand,” Job 23:2, Margin). My sickness (Job 6:4; Job 16:13).

_ _ without transgression — without fault of mine to deserve it (Job 16:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 34:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 34:6

Should I lie — So Job had said in effect, Job 27:4-6, should I falsely accuse myself of sins of which I am not guilty? Without transgression — Without any such crying, sin, as might reasonably bring down such terrible judgments upon my head.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 34:6

Should I lie against my (d) right? my wound [is] (e) incurable without transgression.

(d) Should I say, I am wicked, being an innocent?

(e) I am more punished, than my sin deserves.
