Commentary on Job 31:7

Theological / Devotional

After mine eyes. This symbol describes the struggle between the senses (eyes) and the inner thoughts (heart). Job maintains that he has not allowed his senses to control him.

Cleaved to mine hands. The familiar illustration of clean hands. Job need not be understood as claiming that there has never been any spot on his hands, but he does deny that any spot has “cleaved” to his hands.
