Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 34:31

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

31. Job accordingly says so ( Job 40:3-5 ; Micah 7:9 ; Leviticus 26:41 ). It was to lead him to this that Elihu was sent. Though no hypocrite, Job, like all, had sin; therefore through affliction he was to be brought to humble himself under God. All sorrow is a proof of the common heritage of sin, in which the godly shares; and therefore he ought to regard it as a merciful correction. UMBREIT and MAURER lose this by translating, as the Hebrew will bear, "Has any a right to say to God, I have borne chastisement and yet have not sinned?" (so Job 34:6 ). borne —namely, the penalty of sin, as in Leviticus 5:1 ; Leviticus 5:17 . offend —literally, "to deal destructively or corruptly" ( Leviticus 5:17- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-32" class="com-number"
