Haydock's commentary
Thou. Hebrew, "He teareth his soul in his fury!" (Haydock)
This is spoken with an air of contempt, as if Job were mad, chap. xiii. 14. (Calmet)
Place. We should expect to see such effects, as soon as we would allow that God punishes thee, without thy being guilty. Hitherto he has treated the wicked only with such rigour. Still thou wouldst assert that thou art a singular example of an innocent man under oppression! (Calmet)
