Job 40:8

Job 40:8

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

Wilt thou also (rather, even) disannul my judgment? i.e. maintain that my judgment towards thee has not been just and equitable, and therefore, so far as it lies in thy power, disannul it? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Dost thou think it necessary to accuse me of injustice, and condemn me. in order to establish thine own innocence? But there is no such necessity. The two things—my justice and thy innocence—are quite compatible.

Only lay aside the notion that afflictions must be punitive.
