Job 33:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. My terror shall not make thee afraid - This is an allusion to what Job had said, Job 9:34 : "Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me." Being thy equal, no fear can impose upon thee so far as to overawe thee; so that thou shouldst not be able to conduct thy own defense. We are on equal terms; now prepare to defend thyself.
