SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:10
muela para otro mi mujer, y sobre ella otros se encorven.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:10
Verse 10. Let my wife grind unto another ] Let her work at the handmill, grinding corn; which was the severe work of the meanest slave. In this sense the passage is understood both by the Syriac and Arabic. See Exod. xi. 5, and Isa. xlvii. 2; and see at the end of the chapter. And let others bow down upon her. ] Let her be in such a state as to have no command of her own person; her owner disposing of her person as he pleases. In Asiatic countries slaves were considered so absolutely the property of their owners, that they not only served themselves of them in the way of scortation and concubinage, but they were accustomed to accommodate their guests with them! Job is so conscious of his own innocence, that he is willing it should be put to the utmost proof; and if found guilty, that he may be exposed to the most distressing and humiliating punishment; even to that of being deprived of his goods, bereaved of his children, his wife made a slave, and subjected to all indignities in that state.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - All the defilements of the life come from a deceived heart. Lust is fire in the soul: those that indulge it, are said to burn. It consume all that is good there, and lays the conscience waste. It kindles the fire of God's wrath, which, if not quenched by the blood of Christ will consume even to eternal destruction. It consumes the body; i consumes the substance. Burning lusts bring burning judgments. Job ha a numerous household, and he managed it well. He considered that he ha a Master in heaven; and as we are undone if God should be severe with us, we ought to be mild and gentle towards all with whom we have to do.
