Commentary on Job 31:5

Theological / Devotional

Vanity. Job’s friends have accused him repeatedly of hypocrisy (see chs. 4:7-9; 8:6; 11:4, 6, 11-14; 15:30-35; 20:5-29). This charge is easy to make and hard to refute. He feels it necessary to speak in behalf of his own integrity, and he is willing to call God to witness as to that integrity. He knows that his life is without deception or guile, and he fears no disclosures that might be made by either God or man.
