If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach;
If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me,
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 1–7
Job's friends blamed him as a wicked man, because he was so afflicted; here he describes their unkindness, showing that what they condemned was capable of excuse. Harsh language from friends, greatly adds to the weight of afflictions: yet it is best not to lay it to heart, lest we harbour resentment. Rather let us look to Him who endured the contradiction of sinners against himself, and was treated with far more cruelty than Job was, or we can be. (Job 19:8-22)
