Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. judgment-my right. Job's own words (Job 13:18; 27:2).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

34:1-9 Elihu calls upon those present to decide with him upon Job's words. The plainest Christian, whose mind is enlightened, whose heart is sanctified by the Spirit of God, and who is versed in the Scriptures, can say how far matters, words, or actions, agree with true religion, better than any that lean to their own understandings. Job had spoken as if he meant wholly to justify himself. He that say, I have cleansed my hands in vain, does not only offend against God's children, Ps 73:13-15, but gratifies his enemies, and says as they say.


Job 13:18 "Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.
Job 27:2 "As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,
Job 33:9 'I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent and there is no guilt in me. (NASB ©1995)
