Job40:8

8. Wilt thou also disanul my judgment ? Wilt thou condemn me that thou maist be righteous ?

Every word is Emphatical, Wilt (Art thou resolved upon it) thou (thou Iob, whom I took to be one of a better mind and temper; had it been a Stranger, or my Enemy who had spoken thus of me, I could have born it, but I cannot bear it from thee) also (not only vindicate thy self, and thy own Integrity, but also accuse me) disanul (not only question and dispute, but even condemn, repeal and make void, as if it were ungrounded and unjust) my judgment? i. e. my Sentence against thee, and my Government and Administration of humane Affairs?

Wilt thou make me unrighteous that thou maist seem to be righteous?

Marginal references: Psal. 51. [illegible: 1+ letters]. Rom. 3▪ 4.
