Job 29:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me As a garment covers the whole body, and is worn continually all the day long, so I was constantly just in the whole course of my administrations, public and private; and I never put off this clothing, out of partiality to myself, or respect to the persons of others, as the manner of many judges is. My judgment was as a robe and diadem My judgments, or decrees, were so equal and righteous, that they never brought shame and reproach upon me, but rather honour and reputation; and I looked upon them as a greater ornament than the purple robe or the diadem.

Job 29:14

14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
