Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
All Commentaries on Job 9:35 Go To Job 9
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Fear him. Septuagint, "and I shall not fear, but speak. For I am not conscious to myself of injustice. "(Haydock)
The dread of incurring God's displeasure makes me prefer to be silent; and if I had no other reason, this fear would suffice, as I should not be master of myself under such anxiety and pain. (Calmet)
If my sufferings were at an end, I should take courage, and speak in my own defence, (Menochius) in answer to my false friends. (Haydock)
