Should I lie concerning my right? my wound is incurable though I am without transgression.
All Commentaries on Job 34:6 Go To Job 34
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849

But great deductions must be made from such hyperboles; and he had frequently praised the mercy and justice of God, and his just punishment of the wicked. He had indeed excepted himself from the number; and Eliu ought to have proved that he was wrong in this respect. But he seems to have all along evaded or mistaken the point under dispute. (Calmet)
Arrow, which pierces me. (Haydock)
The deferring judgment was not a subversion of it, as Eliu would argue, chap. xxvii. 2. (Worthington)
