SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:39
si comí su sustancia sin dinero, o afligí el alma de sus dueños;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:39
Verse 39. If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money ] I have never been that narrow-minded man who, through a principle of covetousness, exhausts his land, putting himself to no charges, by labour and manure, to strengthen it; or defrauds those of their wages who were employed under him. If I have eaten the fruits of it, I have cultivated it well to produce those fruits; and this has not been without money, for I have gone to expenses on the soil, and remunerated the labourers. Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life ] Coverdale translates, Yee yf I have greved eny of the plowmen. They have not panted in labour without due recompense.
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 __________________________________________________________________
