Job 9:27,28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

If I say, I will forget my complaints, &c. If I resolve within myself that I will cease complaining, and endeavour to take comfort. I am afraid of all my sorrows Or, of my pains and griefs: I find all such endeavours vain; for if my griefs be suspended for a time, yet my fears continue. I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent I plainly perceive that thou, O God, (to whom he makes a sudden address, as he does also Job 9:31,) wilt not clear my innocence by removing those afflictions which make them judge me guilty of some great crime. Words proceeding from despair and impatience.

Job 9:27-28

27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
