Commentary

Commentary on Job 31:12

Theological / Devotional

It is a fire. Indulgence in this sin tends to destroy everything that is good in a man. It is desolating in its effects on the life.

Root out all mine increase. It would consume wealth, either by leading to squandering and waste, or by calling down the judgments of God. Human experience reveals how immorality frequently leads to poverty (see Luke 15:11-32).
