Job 21:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? As for me - האנכי heanochi, "Alas for me!" Is it not with a man that I speak? And, if this be the case, why should not my spirit be troubled? I do not reply against my Maker: I suffer much from God and man; why then may I not have the privilege of complaining to creatures like myself?

Job 21:4

4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
