Job 35:2
_ _ more than — rather as in Job 9:2; Job 25:4 : “I am righteous (literally, my righteousness is) before God.” The English Version, however, agrees with Job 9:17; Job 16:12-17; Job 27:2-6. Job 4:17 is susceptible of either rendering. Elihu means Job said so, not in so many words, but virtually. |
Job 35:2
Thou saidst — Not that Job said this in express terms, but he said those things from which this might seem to follow, as that God had punished him more than he deserved. |
Job 35:2
Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My (a) righteousness [is] more than God's?
(a) Job never spoke these words: but because he maintained his innocency, it seemed as though he would say, that God tormented him without just cause. |
- Thinkest:
Matthew 12:36-37 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. ... For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Luke 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
|
- My:
Job 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job 10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thine hand.
Job 16:17 Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is] pure.
Job 19:6-7 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. ... Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment.
Job 27:2-6 [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul; ... My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
Job 34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
