Job 31:5

5 »Si he andado en malos pasos,o mis pies han corrido tras la mentira,

Job 31:5 Meaning and Commentary

Job 31:5

If I have walked with vanity
Or with vain men, as Bar Tzemach interprets it, keeping company and having fellowship with them in their vain and sinful practices; or in the vanity of his mind, indulging himself in impurity of heart and life; or rather using deceitful methods to cheat and defraud others; for this seems to be another vice Job clears himself of, acting unjustly in his dealings with men, or dealing falsely with them:

or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
to cheat men in buying and selling, being ready and swift to do it, and in haste to become rich, which puts men oftentimes on evil ways and methods to attain it; see ( Proverbs 28:20 ) .

Job 31:5 In-Context

3 ¿No es acaso la ruina para los malvadosy el desastre para los malhechores?

4 ¿Acaso no se fija Dios en mis caminosy toma en cuenta todos mis pasos?

5 »Si he andado en malos pasos,o mis pies han corrido tras la mentira,

6 ¡que Dios me pese en una balanza justa,y así sabrá que soy inocente!

7 Si mis pies se han apartado del camino,o mi corazón se ha dejado llevar por mis ojos,o mis manos se han llenado de ignominia,
