JOB Chap. 9. Vers. 19, 20, 21. If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong; and if of judgement, Who shall set me a time to plead? If I justify my self, mine own mouth shall condemn me; If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my own soul, I would despise my life.
JOB Chap. 9. Vers. 19, 20, 21. If I speak of strength, loe, he is strong; and if of judgement, Who shall set me a time to plead? If I justifie my self, mine own mouth shall condemn me; If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my own soul, I would despise my life.
JOB goeth on to lay himself yet lower before God: and having in the three former verses proved that weak man is not able to contend with the Almighty; he giveth an additional proof in this 19th verse, from the consideration of a two-fold adjunct in God. First, his strength. And secondly, his justice. From both he concludeth according to the former argument given upon the whole matter in the 10th verse, seeing God is so strong and just, Surely, if I justify my self my own mouth shall condemn me; and if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
