Job 19:4

In this verse Job must mean to repudiate the offences insinuated against him. The precise force of the second clause, however, is obscure. It might mean, "my error is my own and no matter for your intermeddling"; or, "I alone am conscious of it and you can know nothing regarding it," in either case a mere passing rejection of the charges of his friends. Or, "had I indeed sinned my error would remain with myself, I should be conscious of it," cf. ch. 9:36. Ewald's idea that the "error" which Job alludes to is his mistaken hope of judgment and righteousness on God's part is less suitable to the connexion.
