Job 31:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Destruction is their portion, and a strange punishment, some extraordinary and dreadful judgment, which of right and course belongs to them, and only to such as they are, although it hath pleased God out of his sovereign power to inflict it upon me, who have lived in all good conscience before him. Heb. an alienation or estrangement, to wit, from God and from his favour. Had I been such a one, I neither could nor should have expected any kindness or mercy from God, as now I do.

Job 31:3

3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
