Job 31:30
_ _ mouth — literally, “palate.” (See on Job 6:30).
_ _ wishing — literally, “so as to demand his (my enemy’s) soul,” that is, “life by a curse.” This verse parenthetically confirms Job 31:30. Job in the patriarchal age of the promise, anterior to the law, realizes the Gospel spirit, which was the end of the law (compare Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 23:6, with Matthew 5:43, Matthew 5:44). |
