Job 31:12

_ _ (Proverbs 6:27-35; Proverbs 8:6-23, Proverbs 8:26, Proverbs 8:27). No crime more provokes God to send destruction as a consuming fire; none so desolates the soul.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 31:12

Destruction — Lust is a fire in the soul; it consumes all that is good there, the convictions, the comforts; and lays the conscience waste. It consumes the body, consumes the substance, roots out all the increase. It kindles the fire of God's wrath, which if not quenched by the blood of Christ, will burn to the lowest hell.
