Wesley's Notes

23:5 Know - If he should discover to me any secret sins, for which he contendeth with me, I would humble myself before him, and accept of the punishment of mine iniquity.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. he-emphatic: it little matters what man may say of me, if only I know what God judges of me.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

23:1-7 Job appeals from his friends to the just judgement of God. He wants to have his cause tried quickly. Blessed be God, we may know where to find him. He is in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself; and upon a mercy-seat, waiting to be gracious. Thither the sinner may go; and there the believer may order his cause before Him, with arguments taken from his promises, his covenant, and his glory. A patient waiting for death and judgment is our wisdom and duty, and it cannot be without a holy fear and trembling. A passionate wishing for death or judgement is our sin and folly, and ill becomes us, as it did Job.


Job 23:4 "I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.
Job 23:6 "Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me. (NASB ©1995)
