But (saith Job) it is not so with me.
There is much diversity of opinion about these words. M. Broughton translates, I am not so with my self, and gives this note upon it, I am not such with my self, as Gods scourge seemeth to make me, or such as your words would make me. The Septuagint renders it, I am not so conscious to my self, or I am not so self-guilty. The Hebrew word for word runs thus, For not so I with my self. ⟨p. 406⟩Some difference arises from the first particle, we read [But] Most [For] The original is rather causal then exceptive, I would speak and not fear him, for it is not so with me.
