Commentary on Job 9:20

Theological / Devotional

If I justify myself. The sentence is true if the words are correctly applied (see 1 Cor. 4:4). But Job was thinking of them in an entirely different light. He was brooding over the thought that the creature had no chance when opposed to the Ruler of the universe.
