Job 31:35 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

Oh, that one would hear me! namely, as he here asserted his innocence, for his complaint had been all along that God paid no attention to his crying. Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would answer me, or, "Behold my signature: let the Almighty answer me!" Job had, as it were, set forth his vindication in writing; he was now ready to hear the verdict of God. And that mine adversary had written a book! That God would write down and fix against him the definite charge on account of which He laid this suffering upon him, was Job's great wish.

Job 31:35

35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
