- Numquid bonum tibi videtur, si calumnieris me, et opprimas me opus manuum tuarum, et consilium impiorum adjuves ?

- ἢ καλόν σοι ἐὰν ἀδικήσω; ὅτι ἀπείπω ἔργα χειρῶν σου, βουλῇ δὲ ἀσεβῶν προσέσχες;

- הֲט֤וֹב לְךָ֨ כִּֽי תַעֲשֹׁ֗ק כִּֽי תִ֭מְאַס יְגִ֣יעַ כַּפֶּ֑יךָ וְעַל עֲצַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים הוֹפָֽעְתָּ
Haydock's commentary
Calumniate permissively, by treating me in such a manner, that others lay false crimes to my charge. Hebrew, "oppress and despise the work."
Wicked, who are ready enough (Haydock) to assert that virtue is useless, (Calmet) and that God mindeth not human affairs. My affliction will confirm them in their false notion, (Haydock) and my friends will triumph as if their arguments were well founded. The devil will also exult. (Calmet)
He knew that God could not be guilty of calumny, and inquireth why he is afflicted. (Worthington)
