Job 32:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I have neither skill nor will to flatter Job or any man so as to debauch my conscience, or corrupt the truth, or speak falsely for his sake. If I should be guilty of that sin, God would quickly and sorely punish me for it. Or without this supplement, my Maker will quickly take me away, to wit, out of this world. I dare not flatter any man, because I consider I must shortly die and go to judgment, to give an account of all my words and actions.

Job 32:22

22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
