• Verses, 2, 3, seem to be a repetition, with enlargement of what had been previously said in chap. 34:9. Job had declared that his claim was more righteous than God’s, because (ver. 3) God was utterly indifferent to whatever he did. There was no advantage in righteousness any more than in sin! Imagine an upright, God-fearing man bringing himself to such a conclusion! It leads to, “Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.” (“Job 32-37” by S. Ridout)
