If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
i.e., Job's household said, Oh that we had Job's enemy to devour! We cannot rest satisfied until we have. But Job refrained from even wishing revenge (1 Samuel 26:8-9, David would not hurt Saul, his cruel foe, when in his power, at the hill of Hachilah; 2 Samuel 16:9-10, David would not let Abishai kill Shimei, who had cursed and cast stones at him in fleeing from Absalom). So Jesus Christ (Luke 9:54-55). In this view this Job 31:31 is connected with Job 31:30, 'No; I never wished a curse to his soul, when the men of my tabernacle (household) said, "Oh that,"' etc. But better (see Job 31:32) translated, 'Who can show (literally, give) х miy (H4310) yiteen (H5414)] the man who was not satisfied with the flesh (meat) provided by Job?' He never let a poor man leave his gate without giving him enough to eat.
