Haydock's commentary
With him, and strive to please him. Horrible blasphemy! of which Job was incapable: as if God were a cruel master, and threw us into despair. He had asserted that God punishes the wicked, and often treats his friends with the like severity, (chap. ix. 22., and xxx. 26.) in this world: which is very true. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "Say not that man is not visited. He is indeed visited by the Lord." (Haydock)
Eliu wrests Job's words, in order that he may have something to say against him. (St. Gregory xxiv. 25.) (Worthington)
