Job 31:36 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I would take it, i.e. that book containing my charge or accusation. Upon my shoulder; as a trophy or badge of honour. I should not fear nor smother it, but glory in it, and make open show of it, as that which gave me the happy and long-desired occasion of vindicating myself, which I doubt not fully to do.

Job 31:36

36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
