Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 31:1-40

Shall we turn in our Bibles to the book of Job, chapter 31.Job has pretty well talked down all of his friends. Bildad has had his last word and Job is still responding, and has been responding, actually, just generally now to his friends. This last discourse of Job is his longest discourse, and he goes on and on with it. And we have been studying the final response of Job to his friends. His next responses will be to God. But Job is talking about his own righteousness, his own goodness, that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 31:1-40

Job 31:1 . A maid. The LXX, followed by the Chaldaic, read virgin; but our English version has the most ancient support. Job was pure and spotless in conversation with women. He abhorred seduction, and all its associate crimes. Genesis 34:0. Job 31:28 . I should have denied the God that is above. Job here describes the manner in which the ancient Sabian idolaters worshipped the sun, moon, and stars, by kissing the hand; and his abhorrence of it shows that he was himself educated in the... read more

Gurnall.)Methods of moral lifeLet us look at the kind of life Job says he lived, and in doing so let it be remarked that all the critics concur in saying that this chapter contains more jewels of illustration, of figure or metaphor, than probably any other chapter in the whole of the eloquent book. Job is therefore at his... read more

If the men of my tabernacle said not ] Contubernales, sive domestici; those of my family and familiarity. A man is to take heed of the iniquity of his heels, that is, of his followers and attendants at the heels, as some sense that text, Psalms 49:5 , for these will be apt enough to put a man upon courses of revenge, as they dealt by David, 1 Samuel 24:4 ; 1 Samuel 26:8 2 Samuel 16:9... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 31:32

Job 31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: [but] I opened my doors to the traveller. Ver. 32. The stranger did not lodge in the street ] Job was so far from liking and commending those enraged stomachs of his servants, that be would not suffer strangers to lodge abroad in the night season.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Job 31:31

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.If — My domesticks and familiar friends.His flesh — This is farther confirmation of Job's charitable disposition to his enemy. Although all who were daily conversant with him, and were witnesses of his and their carriage, were so zealous in Job's quarrel, that they protested they could eat their flesh, and could not be satisfied without. Yet he restrained both them and himself from executing vengeance... read more
