37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
37 I would give him an account of my every step; I would present it to him as to a ruler.)-
37 I would give him an account of all my steps; like a prince I would approach him.
37 I'm prepared to account for every move I've ever made - to anyone and everyone, prince or pauper.
37 I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him.
37 For I would tell him exactly what I have done. I would come before him like a prince.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 31:37
Commentary on Job 31:33-40
(Read Job 31:33-40)
Job clears himself from the charge of hypocrisy. We are loth to confess our faults, willing to excuse them, and to lay the blame upon others. But he that thus covers his sins, shall not prosper, 1 John 1:8. Let us all judge ourselves; wherein we are guilty, let us seek forgiveness in that blood which cleanseth from all sin; and may the Lord have mercy upon us, and write his laws in our hearts!
