Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
i.e., were I to renounce my right (i:e., confess myself guilty), I should lie. Job virtually had said so (Job 27:4-5; Job 6:28). Maurer, not so well, 'Notwithstanding my right (innocence), I am treated as a liar by God,' by His afflicting me.
My wound - literally, mine arrow-namely, by which I am pierced. So "my stroke" (hand, margin, Job 23:2). My sickness (Job 6:4; Job 16:13).
Without transgression - without fault of mine to deserve it (Job 16:17).
