Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. (Job 6:28, 30). The "deceit" would be if he were to admit guilt against the witness of his conscience.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

27:1-6 Job's friends now suffered him to speak, and he proceeded in a grave and useful manner. Job had confidence in the goodness both of his cause and of his God; and cheerfully committed his cause to him. But Job had not due reverence when he spake of God as taking away his judgment, and vexing his soul. To resolve that our hearts shall not reproach us, while we hold fast our integrity, baffles the designs of the evil spirit.


Job 6:28 "Now please look at me, And see if I lie to your face.
Job 33:3 "My words are from the uprightness of my heart, And my lips speak knowledge sincerely. (NASB ©1995)
