Wesley's Notes for Job 13:24

13:22 Then - This proposal savoured of self - confidence, and of irreverence towards God; for which, and the like speeches, he is reproved by God, chap.#38:2|,3 40:2.

13:23 My sin - That I am a sinner, I confess; but not that I am guilty of such crimes as my friends suppose, if it be so, do thou, O Lord, discover it.

13:25 Leaf - One that can no more resist thy power, than a leaf, or a little dry straw can resist the wind or fire.

13:26 Writest - Thou appointest or inflictest. A metaphor from princes or judges, who anciently used to write their sentences.
