Should I lie against my right?
We read the words as a Question; others read them as a direct proposition; There is a lie in Judging me, or,1 There is a lie against my right; The word which we here translate right, is the same which we translate Judgement in the former verse. And when he saith, There is a lie against my right; It is as if he had plainly said, I am falsely charged, I am wrongfully accused, I am not such a man as I am supposed, nor have I done those things whereof I am suspected. Every false accusation brought against a man, is a lie against his right.

- 1In judicando enim me mendacium est. Vulg:
Secondly, Others read it thus,1 I shall make liars against my right; that is, whosoever stands up to prove any thing against me, as you have done, saying, I am wicked, unrighteous, or hypocritical, I shall be able to prove him a liar. But neither the Grammatical signification of the words will fairly bear this sense, nor doth it well correspond with the former verse.
