This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I know it is so, to wit, as you say, that God is just in all his ways, that he doth ordinarily bless the righteous, and punish the wicked.
But how should man be just? Heb. and how, &c.? i.e. and I know that no man is absolutely just, or can defend his righteousness, if God be severe to mark what is amiss in him.
With God; either,
1. Being compared with God; or,
2. Before God, as the same phrase is taken, 1Sa_2:26 Psa_130:3, if he be brought before God’s tribunal to debate the matter with him.
