Holy Scripture

Job 9:17

A church father on this verse
“These words mean two different things, either that Job had not sinned, even though he was, nevertheless, undergoing a punishment; or that Christ, as if he were guilty of sin, would have suffered resolutely the temptation of blameless passions.”
Ephrem the Syrian, 4th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 9:17

In context

15For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: I will entreat his judgment.

16And if I should call and he should not hearken, I cannot believe that he has listened to my voice.

— Job 9:17 —

18For he suffers me not to take breath, But he has filled me with bitterness.

19For indeed he is strong in power: Who then shall resist his judgment?
