Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. If mine heart have been deceived by a woman ] The Septuagint add, androv eterou, another man's wife.
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.
