Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

And be it indeed that I have erred - Suppose indeed that I have been mistaken in any thing, that in the simplicity of my heart I have gone astray, and that this matter remains with myself, (for most certainly there is no public stain on my life), you must grant that this error, whatsoever it is, has hurt no person except myself. Why then do ye treat me as a person whose life has been a general blot, and whose example must be a public curse?

Job 19:4

Job: My Redeemer Lives

³Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me. ⁴Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone. ⁵If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,
