Job 6:29

Job 6:29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness [is] in it.

Ver. 29. Return, I pray you ] Change your minds of me, and your language to me, Bona verba quaeso; I seek good words, what need all this heat of speech, and height of spirit? be better advised, I beseech you, Job 17:10 ; Job 19:28 . Some think that Job’s friends were rising to be gone; and he hastily calleth them back again.

Let it not be iniquity ] Judge charitably, and make not the worst of matters: I may be weak, but am not wicked. Or thus, take heed that God fault you not for usurping his right; taking upon you to judge secret things even against your neighbour, with calumniations and cruelty.

Yea, return again ] See you do it at your peril: either you must do it, or do worse.

My righteousness is in it ] I am surely in the right; and that will appear to you upon better consideration. I shall be recta in curia, and you utterly mistaken. Uprightness hath boldness, and dares put itself upon God’s examination, as David did, Psalms 139:23 , yea, Abimelech, Genesis 20:5 .
