SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:37

Yo le contaría el número de mis pasos, y como príncipe me llegaría a él.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:37

Verse 37. I would declare unto him the number of my steps ] I would show this
adversary the different stations I had been in, and the offices which I had filled in life, that he might trace me through the whole of my civil, military, and domestic life, in order to get evidence against me.

As a prince would I go near ] Though carrying my own accusation, I would go into the presence of my judge as the dygn nagid, chief, or sovereign commander and judge, of the people and country, and would not shrink from having my conduct investigated by even the meanest of my subjects. In these three verses we may observe the following particulars: - 1. Job wishes to be brought to trial, that he might have the opportunity of vindicating himself: O that I might have a hearing! 2. That his adversary, Eliphaz and his companions, whom he considers as one party, and joined together in one, would reduce their vague charges to writing, that they might come before the court in a legal form: O that my adversary would write down the charge! 3. That the Almighty, yd Shaddai, the all-sufficient GOD, and not man, should be the judge, who would not permit his adversaries to attempt, by false evidence, to establish what was false, nor suffer himself to cloak with a hypocritical covering what was iniquitous in his conduct: O that the Almighty might answer for me-take notice of or be judge in the cause! 4. To him he purposes cheerfully to confess all his ways, who could at once judge if he prevaricated, or concealed the truth. 5. This would give him the strongest encouragement: he would go boldly before him, with the highest persuasion of an honourable acquittal.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 33-40 - Job clears himself from the charge of hypocrisy. We are loth to confes our faults, willing to excuse them, and to lay the blame upon others But he that thus covers his sins, shall not prosper, Pr 28:13. He speaks of his courage in what is good, as an evidence of his sincerit in it. When men get estates unjustly, they are justly deprived of comfort from them; it was sown wheat, but shall come up thistles. What men do not come honestly by, will never do them any good. The words of Job are ended. They end with a bold assertion, that, with respect to accusation against his moral and religious character as the cause for his sufferings, he could appeal to God. But, however confident Job was we shall see he was mistaken, chap. 40:4, 5; 1Jo 1:8. Let us all judg ourselves; wherein we are guilty, let us seek forgiveness in that bloo which cleanseth from all sin; and may the Lord have mercy upon us, an write his laws in our hearts __________________________________________________________________
