These speakings are not cross to each other, but helps us to understand Jobs sense in this argument. He stands much upon his integrity, but it is to his friends; he humbles himself in the sight of his own vileness, but it is to God. Paul (Rom. 7.24.) bewails his sinfulness, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of sin and of death! I find a law in my members, rebelling ⟨p. 298⟩against the law of my mind: Yet, when he answers false Apostles about his personal carriage, and the discharge of his Apostleship, then he saith, I know nothing by my self (1 Cor. 4.4.) I am charged thus and thus, I am slandered so and so, but my conscience acquits me, I know nothing by my self; The sinfulness of his nature made him groan and sigh out, O wretched man that I am; The sincerity of his heart made him boast and sing out like a happy man, as sorrowful, but always rejoicing. A man may be conscious of his own natural corruption, and yet confident of his own practical integrity.
