SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:26
si he mirado al sol cuando resplandecía, y a la luna cuando iba hermosa,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:26
Verse 26. If I beheld the sun when it shined ] In this verse Job clears himself of that idolatrous worship which was the most ancient and most consistent with reason of any species of idolatry; viz., Sabaeism, the worship of the heavenly bodies; particularly the sun and moon, Jupiter and Venus, the two latter being the morning and evening stars, and the most resplendent of all the heavenly bodies, the sun and moon excepted. "Job," says Calmet, "points out three things here: "1. The worship of the sun and moon; much used in his time, and very anciently used in every part of the East; and in all probability that from which idolatry took its rise. "2. The custom of adoring the sun at its rising, and the moon at her change; a superstition which is mentioned in Ezek. viii. 16, and in every part of profane antiquity. "3. The custom of kissing the hand; the form of adoration, and token of sovereign respect." Adoration, or the religious act of kissing the hand, comes to us from the Latin; ad, to, and os, oris, the mouth. The hand lifted to the mouth, and there saluted by the lips.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-32 - Job protests, 1. That he never set his heart upon the wealth of thi world. How few prosperous professors can appeal to the Lord, that the have not rejoiced because their gains were great! Through the determination to be rich, numbers ruin their souls, or pierc themselves with many sorrows. 2. He never was guilty of idolatry. The source of idolatry is in the heart, and it corrupts men, and provoke God to send judgments upon a nation. 3. He neither desired no delighted in the hurt of the worst enemy he had. If others bear malic to us, that will not justify us in bearing malice to them. 4. He ha never been unkind to strangers. Hospitality is a Christian duty, 1P 4:9.
