Haydock's commentary
Please thee, since thou punishest the guiltless. (Menochius)
If I sin. Job had not said so, but it seemed to follow from his expressions, chap. xxi. 7. See chap. xxii. 3. Whether sin be committed and punished, or not, what does it profit God? (Calmet)
His sovereign perfections require that he should not let sin pass unnoticed, and Job never entertained an idea to the contrary.
