SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:33
ΒΆ Si encubrí, como los hombres mis prevaricaciones, escondiendo en mi seno mi iniquidad;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:33
Verse 33. If I covered my transgressions as Adam ] Here is a most evident allusion to the fall. Adam transgressed the commandment of his Maker, and he endeavoured to conceal it; first, by hiding himself among the trees of the garden: "I heard thy voice, and went and HID myself;" secondly, by laying the blame on his wife: "The woman gave me, and I did eat;" and thirdly, by charging the whole directly on God himself: "The woman which THOU GAVEST ME to be with me, SHE gave me of the tree, and I did eat." And it is very likely that Job refers immediately to the Mosaic account in the Book of Genesis. The spirit of this saying is this: When I have departed at any time from the path of rectitude, I have been ready to acknowledge my error, and have not sought excuses or palliatives for my sin.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-40 - Job clears himself from the charge of hypocrisy. We are loth to confes our faults, willing to excuse them, and to lay the blame upon others But he that thus covers his sins, shall not prosper, Pr 28:13. He speaks of his courage in what is good, as an evidence of his sincerit in it. When men get estates unjustly, they are justly deprived of comfort from them; it was sown wheat, but shall come up thistles. What men do not come honestly by, will never do them any good. The words of Job are ended. They end with a bold assertion, that, with respect to accusation against his moral and religious character as the cause for his sufferings, he could appeal to God. But, however confident Job was we shall see he was mistaken, chap. 40:4, 5; 1Jo 1:8. Let us all judg ourselves; wherein we are guilty, let us seek forgiveness in that bloo which cleanseth from all sin; and may the Lord have mercy upon us, an write his laws in our hearts __________________________________________________________________
