order--state methodically (Job 13:18; Isa 43:26).
fill, &c.--I would have abundance of arguments to adduce. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I would order my cause before him - Compare the notes at Isa 43:26. That is, I would arrange my arguments, or plead my cause, as one does in a court of justice. I would suggest the considerations which would show that I am not guilty in the sense charged by my friends, and that notwithstanding my calamities, I am the real friend of God.
And fill my mouth with arguments - Probably he means that he would appeal to the evidence furnished by a life of benevolence and justice, that he was not a hypocrite or a man of distinguished wickedness, as his friends maintained. |

26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
