Haydock's commentary
Victory. Before such a judge I should hope to be acquitted. Job must have been well convinced of his innocence. For woe to man, if God treat him according to the rigour of his justice! (Calmet)
Septuagint, "For truth and reproof are with him. But, oh! that he would bring my judgment to an end." (Haydock)
