“This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.”
If I have rejoiced at the destruction of one who hated me or exulted when evil came upon him, establishing Job's claim that he has not taken pleasure in the suffering of his enemies, that he has not gloated over others' misfortune. The rejoicing at destruction and exulting at evil coming upon enemies suggests the satisfaction of revenge. The verse establishes that Job has maintained compassion even toward those he has reason to resent.
