Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersXXXV.(2) My righteousness is more than God's.--See Job 19:6, &c. Job had not in so many words said this, but what he had said was capable of being so represented, and perhaps seemed to involve it. (Comp. Job 9:22; Job 10:15.) Here, again, there was a misrepresentation of what Job had said. He certainly did not mean that he was none the better for being righteous; on the contrary, he had distinctly said, "Let mine enemy be as the wicked," &c. (Job 27:7, &c.), because he could not delight himself in God; but it was perfectly true that he had said that his righteousness had not delivered him from suffering.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“Do you thinkחָשַׁ֣בְתָּ (ḥā·šaḇ·tā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 2803: To think, accountitהֲ֭זֹאת (hă·zōṯ)Article | Pronoun - feminine singularStrong's 2063: Hereby in it, likewise, the one other, same, she, so much, such deed, that, is justלְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט (lə·miš·pāṭ)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4941: A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, stylewhen you say,אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ (’ā·mar·tā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say‘I am righteousצִדְקִ֥י (ṣiḏ·qî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 6664: The right, equity, prosperitybefore God.’?מֵאֵֽל׃ (mê·’êl)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 410: Strength -- as adjective, mighty, the AlmightyJump to PreviousCleared God's Judgment Justice Reckoned Right Righteousness Seem Think Thinkest
