Job 22:4

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? rather, Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee? Surely not. If he reproves thee, it must be because thou fearest him not. The fact of thy reproof is sure evidence of the fact of thy guilt.

Will he enter with thee into judgment? rather, that he entereth with thee into judgment (see the Revised Version).
