"If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,.... Look and talk big, set up themselves for great folk, and resolve to run him down; open their mouths wide against him
and speak great swelling words in a blustering manner; or magnify what they called an error in him, and set it out in the worst light they could: and plead against me my reproach; his affliction which he was reproached with, and was pleaded against him as an argument of his being a wicked man; if therefore they were determined to go on after this manner, and insist on this kind of proof, then he would have them take what follows.
