Job 35:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Canst thou in thy conscience, upon second thoughts, approve of what thou hast said? Not that Job said this in express terms, but he said those things from which this might seem to follow, as that God punished him more than he deserved or expected, all things considered; and that if he might be admitted to debate his cause with or before God, he did not doubt to carry it, and to obtain that ease and favour from God, which otherwise God would not afford him. But this charge against Job he proves in the next verse.

Job 35:2

2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
