Job 31:18 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

For from my youth, &c.— Houbigant renders this most beautifully: how far it may be agreeable to the Hebrew, I take not upon me to determine. For compassion educated me from a child; she brought me up, even from my mother's womb. Heath reads the passage thus; If from his youth I brought him not up as a father; yea I guided her from her mother's womb; referring to both the male and female orphan.
