Job Chapter 6
6:1. But Job answered, and said:
6:2. O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity
that I suffer, were weighed in a balance.
My sins, etc... He does not mean to compare his sufferings with his real
sins: but with the imaginary crimes which his friends imputed to him:
and especially with his wrath, or grief, expressed in the third chapter,
which they so much accused. Though, as he tells them here, it bore no
proportion with the greatness of his calamity.
