“If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;”
If I have rejected the cause of my male or female servant when they brought a complaint to me, establishing Job's claim that he has not rejected servants' grievances, that he has given fair hearing to their cases. The rejection of cause would constitute abuse of power against those socially beneath Job. The bringing of complaint suggests servants' attempt to seek justice. The verse establishes Job's claim of fair treatment of his social inferiors.
