**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**My Father! May [Job] be tried** You are my Father. The Holy One, blessed be He, is the Father of all. If only Job were tried to eternity, in order that there be repentance among men of iniquity. And also to men Scripture speaks in this manner (II Kings 5:13): “‘Master (אבי), if the prophet spoke to you to do a difficult thing etc.’” Another explanation: אבי is like (Ecc. 12:5), “and the sexual desire (האביונה) will fail,” an expression of desire. Menachem (Machbereth p. 11) associated it in this manner, and this is its interpretation: אָבִי יִבָּחֵן אִיוֹב עַד נֶצַח, my wish and my desire are that Job should be tried to eternity (omitted in some editions).

**בֵּינֵינוּ יִסְפּוֹק.** הוּא אוֹמֵר: מַה לָּנוּ וּלְדִבְרֵי אִיּוֹב? ״אַף אָמְנָם שָׁגִיתִי אִתִּי תָּלִין״ (איוב יט:ד)! וְאֵינוֹ יוֹדֵעַ שֶׁאָנוּ נֶעֱנָשִׁים, וּמַסְפִּיק לָנוּ עֲוֹנוֹת, עַל שֶׁאָנוּ שׁוֹמְעִים. כָּךְ מְפֹרָשׁ בְּוַיִּקְרָא רַבָּה (ויקרא רבה ד:ו):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**among us he speaks loquaciously** He asks, Why should we be concerned with his words? (above 19:4), ‘And even if I have indeed erred, let my error stay with me,’ and he does not know that we are punished, and he increases iniquities for us because we are listening. So it is explained in Leviticus Rabbah (4:6).
