Job 10:6,7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

That thou inquirest, &c., and searchest after my sin Keeping me so long upon the rack, to compel me to accuse myself. Thou knowest I am not wicked That is a hypocrite, or an ungodly man, as my friends account me. There is none that can deliver, &c. Thou art the supreme ruler of the world; therefore I must wait thy time, and throw myself on thy mercy, in submission to thy sovereign will. “It would be injurious to the character of Job,” says Mr. Peters, “should we interpret in a severe and rigorous sense, as it is certain his friends too often did, his frequent protestations of his innocence, and his bold appeals to the supreme Judge to prove and try him; for where he is thus strenuous in asserting his integrity, it is only in opposition to the notion which those mistaken friends had entertained of him, namely, that he had been guilty of some gross sins, which he had the art to hide from the world, but that he was in reality a wicked man, and a hypocrite in his behaviour. This is what Job utterly denies and disclaims, though he nowhere arrogates to himself perfect innocence or freedom from sin.”
