Job 10:2

“I will say unto God, do not condemn me, etc.] Not that he feared eternal condemnation; there is none to them that are in Christ, and believe in him as Job did; Christ’s undertakings, sufferings, and death, secure his people from the condemnation of law and justice; nor, indeed, are the afflictions of God’s people a condemnation of them, but a fatherly chastisement, and are in order to prevent their being condemned with the world; yet they may look as if they were, in the eyes of the men of the world, and they as very wicked persons; and so the word may be rendered, “do not account me wicked” f424, or treat me as a wicked man, by continuing thine afflicting hand upon the; which, as long as it…”

“show me, &c.--Do not, by virtue of Thy mere sovereignty, treat me as guilty without showing me the reasons.”

“I will say unto God, Do not condemn me - Do not hold me to be wicked - תרשׁיעני אל 'al tarshı̂y‛ēnı̂y. The sense is, “Do not simply hold me to be wicked, and treat me as such, without showing me the reasons why I am so regarded.” This was the ground of Job’s complaint, that God by mere sovereignty and power held him to be a wicked man, and that he did not see the reasons why he was so considered and treated. He now desired to know in what he had offended, and to be made acquainted with the cause of his sufferings. The idea is, that it was unjust to treat one as guilty who had no opportunity of knowing the nature of the offence with which he was charged, or the reason why he was condemned.…”

“Condemn - Or, pronounce me not to be a wicked man, neither deal with me as such, as I confess thou mightest do in rigorous justice: O discover my integrity by removing this stroke, for which my friends condemn me. Wherefore - For what ends and reasons, and for what sins; for I am not conscious to myself of any peculiar sins by which I have deserved to be made the most miserable of all men. When God afflicts, he contends with us: when he contends with us, there is always a reason for it. And it is desirable to know, what that reason is, that we may forsake whatever he has a controversy with us for. Job 10:3”
