Job 16:17 - Exposition

Not for any injustice in mine hands ; or, not that there is any violence in my hands (scrap. Isaiah 53:9 , where the expression used of the Messiah is nearly the same). Job repudiates the charge of rapine and robbery which Eliphaz has brought against him ( Job 15:28 , Job 15:34 ). His hands have not done violence to any. Also my prayer is pure . Neither has he been guilty of the hypocrisy which Eliphaz has also charged him with ( Job 15:34 ). His prayers have been sincere and genuine.
