Job 27:5,6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

God forbid that I should justify you In your opinion concerning me, and censure of me; till I die, &c. Never hope that I will yield to your judgment, which I know to be false: no, I abhor the thought of it, and will sooner die than confess the guilt which you charge upon me. My righteousness I hold fast You shall never extort that from me, but I will resolutely maintain my uprightness, and not be persuaded by any reason to desert its defence. My heart shall not reproach me, &c. With betraying my own cause and innocence; my conscience doth not hitherto accuse me, and it shall not upbraid me hereafter.

Job 27:5-6

5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
