This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_6:29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness [is] in it.
Ver. 29. Return, I pray you] Change your minds of me, and your language to me, Bona verba quaeso; I seek good words, what need all this heat of speech, and height of spirit? be better advised, I beseech you, Job_17:10; Job_19:28. Some think that Job’s friends were rising to be gone; and he hastily calleth them back again.
Let it not be iniquity] Judge charitably, and make not the worst of matters: I may be weak, but am not wicked. Or thus, take heed that God fault you not for usurping his right; taking upon you to judge secret things even against your neighbour, with calumniations and cruelty.
Yea, return again] See you do it at your peril: either you must do it, or do worse.
My righteousness is in it] I am surely in the right; and that will appear to you upon better consideration. I shall be recta in curia, and you utterly mistaken. Uprightness hath boldness, and dares put itself upon God’s examination, as David did, Psa_139:23, yea, Abimelech, Gen_20:5.
