Job 27:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. God forbid - חלילה לי - di chalilah lli, far be it from me, that I should justify you - that I should now, by any kind of acknowledgment of wickedness or hypocrisy justify your harsh judgment. You say that God afflicts me for my crimes; I say, and God knows it is truth, that I have not sinned so as to draw down any such judgment upon me. Your judgment, therefore, is pronounced at your own risk.

Job 27:5

5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
