Commentary on Job 31:22

Theological / Devotional

Let mine arm fall. This verse names the curse Job is willing to accept if it can be proved he has taken advantage of the poor. Let judgment fall particularly on those parts of the body that have either done wrong or refused to do right. The strong language that Job uses reveals that he is confident of his innocence, and that he hates the offenses to which he refers.
