Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

20. loins-The parts of the body benefited by Job are poetically described as thanking him; the loins before naked, when clad by me, wished me every blessing.

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 31:19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering,
Job 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, Because I saw I had support in the gate, (NASB ©1995)
