Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 18:9-14

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“But should any one perchance marvel that the Pharisee for uttering a few words in his own praise is condemned, while Job, though he poured forth many, is crowned, I answer, that the Pharisee spoke these at the same time that he groundlessly accused others; but Job was compelled by an urgent necessity to enumerate his own virtues for the glory of God, that men might not fall away from the path of virtue.”
