Job 34:5

5 Pues Job también dijo: “Yo soy inocente,
pero Dios ha quitado mis derechos.

Job 34:5 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:5

For Job hath said, I am righteous
Not in express words, but what amounted to it: no doubt he was a righteous man in an evangelic sense, being justified by the righteousness of Christ, as all the Old Testament saints were, who looked to him and believed in him as the Lord their righteousness, and said, as the church in those times did, "surely in the Lord have I righteousness and strength"; ( Isaiah 45:24 Isaiah 45:25 ) . And moreover he was an upright man, to which the Lord himself bore testimony, ( Job 1:8 ) ; and had the truth of grace in him, that "new man which is created in righteousness and true holiness"; and also lived an holy life and conversation; but then he did not say or think that he was righteous in or of himself, or so as to be free from sin: Job could not judge or speak thus of himself, which would be contrary to what he expressly declares, ( Job 7:20 ) ( Job 9:20 Job 9:30 Job 9:31 ) ; though it must be owned, that he thought himself so righteous, holy, and good, that he ought not to have been afflicted in the manner he was; in which sense it is probable Elihu understood him: and besides, these words are not to be taken separately, but in connection with what follows, which shows Job's sense, and how Elihu understood him, that though he was a righteous person, he had not justice done him:

and God hath taken away my judgment;
which words he did say, (See Gill on Job 27:2); or, as Mr. Broughton renders the words, "the Omnipotent keeps back my right"; does not vindicate my cause, nor so much as give it a hearing, nor lets me know why he contends with me; and, though I call for justice to be done, cannot be heard, ( Job 19:7 ) ; a like complaint of the church in ( Isaiah 40:27 ) .

Job 34:5 In-Context

3 Job dijo: “El oído pone a prueba las palabras que oye
igual que la boca distingue los sabores”.
4 Así que, juzguemos por nosotros mismos lo que es correcto;
aprendamos juntos lo que es bueno.
5 Pues Job también dijo: “Yo soy inocente,
pero Dios ha quitado mis derechos.
6 Soy inocente, pero me llaman mentiroso;
mi sufrimiento es incurable, aunque yo no haya pecado”.
7 »Díganme, ¿hubo una vez un hombre como Job,
con sed de conversaciones irreverentes?
