13. If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 14. What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

Commentary

Commentary on Job 31:13

Theological / Devotional

Of my manservant. Eliphaz had accused Job of harshness and cruelty in his relations to the weak (ch. 22:5-9). Job disproves this accusation by revealing his attitude toward his servants. Before the law, slaves had few rights, yet Job was willing to listen to the complaints of his servants and to consider their grievances.
