Job 34:23 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For he will not lay upon man more [than right]; that he should enter into judgment with God.

Ver. 23. For he will not lay upon men more than right] Plus quam par est. He cannot over do likely, Nam non super virum ponet ultra; no, though he should inflict upon him all the torments here, and tortures in hell, since death, in the utmost extent of it, is the just hire of the least sin, Romans 6:23. See Ezra 9:13. See Trapp on " Ezr 9:13 "

That he should enter into judgment with God] Commence a suit against him, or challenge him into the schools to argue it out with him, as thou Job hast offered to do, but unadvisedly; since God hath justice on his side; as the very heathens also saw, when they set Themis, their goddess of justice, τω διι παρεδρον, next of all to Jupiter, their chief god.
