job 31:1 "I Have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?

< Job 30:31
Job 31:2 >

      Job 31:1-40.

      1. Job proceeds to prove that he deserved a better lot. As in the twenty-ninth chapter, he showed his uprightness as an emir, or magistrate in public life, so in this chapter he vindicates his character in private life.

      1-4. He asserts his guarding against being allured to sin by his senses.
      think--rather, "cast a (lustful) look." He not merely did not so, but put it out of the question by covenanting with his eyes against leading him into temptation (Pr 6:25; Mt 5:28).

JFB.
