SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:3
¿Por ventura no hay quebrantamiento para el impío, y extrañamiento para los que obran iniquidad?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:3
Verse 3. Is not destruction to the wicked ] If I had been guilty of such secret hypocritical proceedings, professing faith in the true God while in eye and heart an idolater, would not such a worker of iniquity be distinguished by a strange and unheard-of punishment?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Job did not speak the things here recorded by way of boasting, but in answer to the charge of hypocrisy. He understood the spiritual natur of God's commandments, as reaching to the thoughts and intents of the heart. It is best to let our actions speak for us; but in some cases we owe it to ourselves and to the cause of God, solemnly to protest ou innocence of the crimes of which we are falsely accused. The lusts of the flesh, and the love of the world, are two fatal rocks on whic multitudes split; against these Job protests he was always careful to stand upon his guard. And God takes more exact notice of us than we d of ourselves; let us therefore walk circumspectly. He carefully avoide all sinful means of getting wealth. He dreaded all forbidden profit a much as all forbidden pleasure. What we have in the world may be use with comfort, or lost with comfort, if honestly gotten. Without stric honestly and faithfulness in all our dealings, we can have no goo evidence of true godliness. Yet how many professors are unable to abid this touchstone!
