Job 34:6 Context
4Let vs chuse to vs iudgement: let vs know among our selues what is good. 5For Iob hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my iudgement. 6Should I lye against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. 7What man is like Iob, who drinketh vp scorning like water? 8Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men.

Wesley's Notes for Job 34:6
34:6 Should I lie - So Job had said in effect, chap.#27:4|,5,6, should I falsely accuse myself of sins of which I am not guilty? Without transgression - Without any such crying, sin, as might reasonably bring down such terrible judgments upon my head.
