Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17. Arabian rules of hospitality require the stranger to be helped first, and to the best.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

31:16-23 Job's conscience gave testimony concerning his just and charitable behaviour toward the poor. He is most large upon this head, because in this matter he was particularly accused. He was tender of all, and hurtful to none. Notice the principles by which Job was restrained from being uncharitable and unmerciful. He stood in awe of the Lord, as certainly against him, if he should wrong the poor. Regard to worldly interests may restrain a man from actual crimes; but the grace of God alone can make him hate, dread, and shun sinful thoughts and desires.


Job 22:7 "To the weary you have given no water to drink, And from the hungry you have withheld bread.
Job 29:12 Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper. (NASB ©1995)
