ExplanationCommentary
Verse 35. Fear him. Septuagint “and I shall not fear, but speak. For I am not conscious to myself of injustice.” Bible.—The dread of incurring God’s displeasure makes me prefer to be silent; and if I had no other reason, this fear would suffice, as I should not be master of myself under such anxiety and pain. Calmet.—If my sufferings were at an end, I should take courage, and speak in my own defence, ( Menochius.) in answer to my false friends. Bible.
