Haydock's commentary
Not sinned. That is, I am not guilty of such sins as they charge me with. (Challoner)
Hebrew, "the wicked were not with me" in friendship at any time. Protestants, "Are there not mockers with me?" (Haydock)
Job was doubly afflicted, with corporal pain and calumny: yet hopeth in God. (Worthington)
Haydock wrote amid the controversies of his day. The Church teaches that those born into communities separated from her cannot be charged with the sin of separation, and embraces them as brothers (CCC 818).
