Job 31:11

_ _ In the earliest times punished with death (Genesis 38:24). So in later times (Deuteronomy 22:22). Heretofore he had spoken only of sins against conscience; now, one against the community, needing the cognizance of the judge.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 31:9-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 31:11

This — Adultery. It is — Heb. an iniquity of the judges; which belongs to them to take cognizance of, and to punish, even with death; and that not only by the law of Moses, but even by the law of nature, as appears from the known laws and customs of the Heathen nations.
