Job 6:29 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.

Return - namely, from the wrong course which ye have entered on in your conference with me - i:e., retract your charges.

Let it not be iniquity - i:e., (retract) that injustice-literally, injustice before judgment х `awlaah (H5766)] (Leviticus 19:15) - may not be done me. Yea retract, "my righteousness is in it" - i:e., my right is involved in this matter.

Return again. Maurer joins the Hebrew х `owd (H5750)] with the following clause: 'Return, my righteousness is still in it' - i:e., my cause is still a just one.
