Job 6:28 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.

Be content - rather, be pleased to-look. Since you have so falsely judged my words, look upon me - i:e., upon my countenance: for it is evident (before your faces) if I lie; my countenance will betray me if I be the hypocrite that you suppose. Umbreit translates, 'Could I then lie before your face?' If I were to address you otherwise than as I do, attesting my own innocence, I should be lying to your face - i:e., in a most shameful way.

Job 6:28

28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
