Verse 1, 2. Then Job answered and said, I know it is so of a truth.
Thus he grants the antecedent, I know it to be so of a truth, 1or truly I know it to be so. The word hath a double force in it. Sometime of a bare, yet a strong asseveration, and sometimes of an Oath. I know it to be so of a truth. I affirm or aver the thing, or truly and indeed, or verily I know the thing to be so. As if Job had said, This is so much a truth, that I dare swear it is a truth, that God is just, I durst take my oath of it, if I were called to it; I would swear for the justice of God, above all things in the world. As we ought to swear in truth (Psal. 89.49.) so to affirm a thing to be so in truth, is swearing.
