job 34:31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: - Free Bible Online

job 34:31 "For has anyone said to God, 'I have borne [chastisement]; I will not offend [anymore];


      31. Job accordingly says so (Job 40:3-5; Mic 7:9; Le 26:41). It was to lead him to this that Elihu was sent. Though no hypocrite, Job, like all, had sin; therefore through affliction he was to be brought to humble himself under God. All sorrow is a proof of the common heritage of sin, in which the godly shares; and therefore he ought to regard it as a merciful correction. UMBREIT and MAURER lose this by translating, as the Hebrew will bear, "Has any a right to say to God, I have borne chastisement and yet have not sinned?" (so Job 34:6).
      borne--namely, the penalty of sin, as in Le 5:1, 17.
      offend--literally, "to deal destructively or corruptly" (Ne 1:7).
