Job 23:12
_ _ esteemed — rather, “laid up,” namely, as a treasure found (Matthew 13:44; Psalms 119:11); alluding to the words of Eliphaz (Job 22:22). There was no need to tell me so; I have done so already (Jeremiah 15:16).
_ _ necessary — “Appointed portion” (of food; as in Proverbs 30:8). Umbreit and Maurer translate, “More than my law,” my own will, in antithesis to “the words of His mouth” (John 6:38). Probably under the general term, “what is appointed to me” (the same Hebrew is in Job 23:14), all that ministers to the appetites of the body and carnal will is included. |

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have (g) esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food].
