Commentary on Job 9:21

Theological / Devotional

Though I were perfect. Literally, this verse reads, “I am perfect; I do not know myself; I abhor my life.” The thought seems to be that Job maintained his innocence, but he could not understand himself or his circumstances, and his conflict was so great that he despised his life.
