I answer, In this and the like expressions,1 while Job saith, He will not justify himself, or say, he is perfect, he declines the plea of personal righteousness, or perfection in the sight of God, as hath frequently appeared in this argument. But in those Chapters and in other places where he is upon his defence; he speaks only in reference to the charge of his friends; As if he had said, Ye accuse me for an hypocrite, and censure me deeply, I can justify my self, and plead my innocency with you, though I have not a word to say for my self before the Lord; I will bear any thing at his hands, let him say of me, and do with me what he pleaseth, I will take shame to my self, and give him glory; but as for you my friends, I will justify my self in your sight, I am not the man ye take me for.
