Job 9:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

My sorrows; or, my pains and griefs. I find all such endeavours vain; for if my griefs be suspended for a little time, yet my fears continue. I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent; I plainly perceive that my changing my note is to no purpose; for thou, O God, (to whom he makes a sudden apostrophe, as he doth also Job 9:31) wilt not clear my innocency, by removing those afflictions which make them judge me guilty of some peat crime. Words proceeding from great impatience and despair of relief.

Job 9:28

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