Ayub 13:10

13:10 He would certainly rebuke ¹  you

if you secretly ²  showed partiality!

[13:10]  ¹ tn The verbal idea is intensified with the infinitive absolute. This is the same verb used in v. 3; here it would have the sense of “rebuke, convict.”

[13:10]  sn Peake’s observation is worth noting, namely, that as Job attacks the unrighteousness of God boldly he nonetheless has confidence in God’s righteousness that would not allow liars to defend him.

[13:10]  ² sn The use of the word “in secret” or “secretly” suggests that what they do is a guilty action (31:27a).
