Job 6:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! O that my grief were thoroughly weighed - Job wished to be dealt with according to justice; as he was willing that his sins, if they could be proved, should be weighed against his sufferings; and if this could not be done, he wished that his sufferings and his complainings might be weighed together; and it would then be seen that, bitter as his complaint had been, it was little when compared with the distress which occasioned it.
