Job 9:21 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. Though I were perfect - Had I the fullest conviction that, in every thought, word, and deed, I were blameless before him, yet I would not plead this; nor would I think it any security for a life of ease and prosperity, or any proof that my days should be prolonged.
